Have you heard about school placements in local level IV yet?

I got an email last week from the school offering my child level III but with general ed math. Apparently I have to authorize it.

I’m waiting for the appeal decision this Friday before answering.

BTW, I didn’t request level III and don’t see the point of it without math. Maybe peer and teacher experience with 2E….

A center is not supposed to principal place. Only LLIV do principal placement if space permits.

They just make sure those found eligible for Level IV are in those classes. If the school doesn't have enough Level IV kids to fill a class - they put other kids in, but those kids vary from year to year.

I was under the impression that since Level IV is funded by the state, there are strict requirements and acceptance by a committee. How is it that they can just put kids in due to space availability?

You were under the wrong impression.

Placating parents is the point. The group who push in for advanced math will likely be a stronger cohort, but with quieter parents.

Advanced Math might be offered next year. Our school uses SOL, iReady, and in class assessments for Advanced Math in 3rd and 4th. Fifth grade is when we knew before the school year started because it was the year they jumped ahead and the info was used to set their class assignments.

Definitely accept level iii if you want to reapply next year. They will get better work samples during those level iii pull outs. It is also something you want noted on the application.
