Seventh Grade Morning Geometry Program Information
Dear Bush Seventh Grade Parents and Guardians,
We are writing to share information about our optional Morning Geometry Course for current Seventh Grade students. This program is recommended for students currently finding success in Seventh Grade math and who are interested in deepening their math exploration of geometry. The Seventh Grade geometry class will meet one morning a week, on either Tuesdays, Wednesdays or Thursdays, and the class will be held from 7:10-8:10 a.m. The geometry course is taken in addition to Seventh Grade math and begins the week of Monday, January 18. The class continues throughout the school year. In making this decision, please consider your child’s success in Seventh Grade math, as well as the Seventh Grade math teacher's (Elle Wong) recommendations.
The goal of this program is to support the interests of our students to expand their math knowledge, with the end result being the completion of geometry by the end of Eighth Grade. This is an optional program that will challenge students interested in committing to the class and requires time and commitment. Those interested in exploring math at a deeper level and who are firmly invested in completing the entire course are encouraged to participate.
To learn more information, please join the Middle School Dean of Academics Sarah Aguiar, for an optional Zoom meeting this Friday, December 4 from 6:00-6:30 p.m.
Seventh Grade Optional Geometry Meeting
Date: Friday, December 4
Time: 6:00-6:30 p.m.
The course requires students to arrive at class promptly and ready to work. Students who complete the course and demonstrate proficiency on the end-of-year assessment will meet the requirement for high school geometry. Students do not get high school credit for this course; however, they meet the requirements for taking the next course in the sequence. Students may miss up to three out of the fifteen classes in the Morning Geometry program. If a student exceeds this limit, they will no longer be able to participate in the program.
Ideally, the decision to commit will come from the students themselves. We encourage families to discuss the logistics of participating in this program and are hopeful that any student choosing to participate will be doing so with a sense of personal connection to the class and a desire to explore mathematically. Please carefully review the following information with your child:
