A LETTER TO PARENTS
Advanced Learning
Program application
deadline is March 18
In an effort to provide customization of student learning at Carrollton Middle School to meet the needs of a wide range of learners, we will continue to offer the Advanced Learning Program during the 2016-2017 school year.
The CMS Advanced Learning Program (ALP) will provide innovative academic rigor centered upon making relevant, real-world connections, broadening student perspective, and affording students the opportunity to assume responsibility for developing and achieving their learning goals.
In the Advanced Learning Program, student learning will be extended and enriched by teaching the state-mandated curriculum in such a way as to afford students
opportunities to study academic content in greater depth. The pace of instruction will be accelerated to better meet the needs of the learner.
Students who have successfully completed the ALP in the third grade at CES or the fourth grade at CMS will remain in the program for the 2016-2017 school year. All other current third and fourth grade students enrolled in the Carrollton City School System are eligible to submit an application for consideration into the program.
Consideration for the program will be determined using the following measures/performance information:
* Completed application
* Parent Feedback
* Teacher Feedback/Recommendation
* Academic Achievement as demonstrated by
the following:
* Classroom assessment data
* Report card
* Georgia Milestones results (if applicable)
* Results from a norm-referenced test at
the 65th percentile or higher
If you are interested in an ALP application for your child, please fill out the interest form sent home with your child and return by March 15 for an application. Also, you may download
