[quote=Anonymous]I'm a parent of an ACPS fifth grader. Would love to hear from GWMS parents and teachers about the middle school sports program. Also, how do I find out about sixth grade curriculum? I heard my son's counselor will help him pick courses. He doesn't have a real relationship with her and she doesn't know anything about him as a student. He's currently in AAS and has great teachers. He is in band, wants to do more than one language (is that possible?). What are the requirements and what are the options for electives? I can't find this information online. He heard from his friends in sixth that the counselor wasn't super helpful and started thinking about what he wants to take next year. Kid loves math, but because of ACPS changes to TAG/AAS, he will be in sixth grade math rather than seventh in sixth being a AAS student. I heard that the only option for AAS is honors. Are grades weighted? Do kids in honors who have a differentiated education plan have additional accelerated learning options? I want to hear it all, the good the bad, and the ugly. My kid is the type who really thrives in a smaller class environment so how big are the honors courses? I heard that they are for anyone, not just gifted or high achieving students. Why? [/quote]
