Principals,
This is a quick update to the 7th Grade Mathematics Information for 2025-26 that we shared with you in the November 2024 principals’ meeting.
Originally the hand-out listed two ways for accelerated 6th grade math students to skip 7th grade math and move directly to 8th grade math: 1) a 7th-grade demonstrated competency assessment or 2) a competency course that could be taken outside of the regular school day. However, upon further research and consideration of the logistical challenges, we have determined that the competency course is not a viable option.
Passing the Math 7 demonstrated competency assessment will allow students to skip 7th grade math and register for 8th grade math. Counselors will be able to sign students up for competency testing in January and February 2025 if families are interested.
