Dear Grade Six and Seven Families of the MS 104 Community:

Happy Friday! I hope this message finds everyone doing well. Please see the important update regarding mathematics from Assistant Principal Comparetto.

Have a great weekend!

Sincerely,

Rocco Macri, Principal

Dear Families,

We are writing to you to let you know that we will be offering an opportunity for students to move from the traditional math pathway to the accelerated math pathway for this upcoming 7th and 8th grade year.  Students in the traditional pathway will be administered a screener on Tuesday, June 13th, periods 1-3.  The screener, in combination with their math class grade, will be taken into consideration when making movement decisions.  

It is important to note that students who studied in our traditional pathways covered grade level standards this year while those in the accelerated pathways covered grade level and above grade level standards.  The screener exams are based on standards that have been taught in accelerated classes that are prerequisites for the next class in the accelerated pathway. We need to be sure that any student moving from the traditional pathway to the accelerated pathway can be successful without having covered these standards in class this school year. 

All students in the traditional pathway math classes will be administered the screener unless you opt them out here.

Thank you and please reach out to Mr. Comparetto with any questions.
