[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a friend who told me about this post so I came to look for it. If you’re reading this, hi, haha.

I have 6th grade AAP kid who is possibly interested in Algebra next year but my spouse is also a middle school math teacher. Our school has NOT mentioned anything about IATT yet. That said I’m not stressing because spouse agrees that if they can’t give the IATT they’ll figure out another way to recommend kids for 7th grade Algebra this year. HTH. [/quote]

I teach 6th grade. As of today, the plan is to take the IAAT and SOL scores for admission into Algebra. There MAY be an option to to take the IAAT over the summer for those that feel it is unsafe do to it this winter...again, maybe...that is not definite.[/quote]

What is the timeline for the test?

My child will be a 7th grader at Cooper next year and just received a bunch of dates including course selection by February 8. No mention of the IAAT from his 6th grade teacher or the school.[/quote]

Our school (kids will go to Longfellow) says EITHER SOL OR IAAT can be used to determine the eligibility for Algebra 1 at 7th grade.  If families are not comfortable to let their kids take IAAT (must be in-person), SOL will suffice. If for COVID restrictions SOL will not happen in spring, then the kids who do not have the IAAT on file will be offered another opportunity to take IAAT in spring or summer. Bottom line is kids who would like to consider Algebra 1 will not miss the opportunity. I hope this helps![/quote]
