Navigation, Extended Study Option for Students
In addition to demonstrating competency in a course, students who have consistently demonstrated an extended understanding of essential content and skills may earn the opportunity to attain advanced competency in that course through criteria designated by their teacher. This work may also be done with support, if needed, during Block C or Block D during 2nd quarter.
Parents will be notified this week by Mrs. Stanley if their student is likely to receive an invitation to attend Block C (or Block D, if they are scheduled for a Block C seminar) for Navigation and there will be an opportunity then to register students for this opportunity. District transportation will be provided for eligible students who attend Block C.
