- Attention Gr. 5 parents, the Middle School Extended Year Program is coming to Cabin John
Middle School this July 2013. THE LOCATION OF ALL CABIN JOHN CLASSES WILL BE AT CABIN JOHN MIDDLE SCHOOL. Mark your calendar now so your child does not miss this wonderful opportunity for increased instructional time. All classes are taught by CJMS Teachers. Complete the registration form and return to Mr. O’Halloran at CJMS by Wednesday, June 12. Class times are 7:45 am to 11:30 am. Courses are as follows: July 1-26 for Reading 7/8; July 8-26 for Focus on Algebra; and July 8-26 for Focus on IM.
Focus on IM is a three-week class is for students who, with additional mathematics instruction during the summer, will be able to maximize their potential to be successful in an above-level mathematics class in the fall of 2013, although participation in this class does not guarantee that a child will be placed in an above-level mathematics class in fall 2013. Decisions about school year course placement will be made on an individual basis. Focus on IM is open only to students entering Grade 6 or Grade 7 who are enrolled or being considered for enrollment in IM for fall 2013. Students will study numbers and numerals (understand number systems) and special reasoning. This course has been designed to align with the actual IM curriculum which the students will experience in the next school year.
