[quote=Anonymous]Send an email to the Principal, AART, and classroom Teacher and let them know that you would like to discuss this now. You are concerned that she has already covered the current material and would prefer for her to move to Algebra as soon as possible if that is determined to be the best course of action.

Be polite in your email, she was scheduled to take Algebra 1 this year at her old school and you want to pursue that now. DS is in 6th grade and his Advanced Math group has taken several assessments and tests, the school should have the necessary diagnostics to be able to discuss her placement.

You need to think about what her taking it might mean. It might mean going to the MS for a period 1 Algebra 1 Honors class and then being transported to her ES for the rest of her day. It might mean a virtual Algebra 1 H class. Or it might mean changing ES to move to a Center that has kids in Algebra 1. Are you comfortable with those options?

Most of the MS in FCPS are 7-8 grade and very few kids are taking Algebra 1 in 6th grade. Some do but it is a small percentage of kids in the county.[/quote]
