Rising 8th Graders Information
Dear Parents of Rising 8th Graders:
We are pleased to inform you that Brookwood High School will offer one section of High School Honors Latin 1 to rising 8th graders in the 2020-2021 school year. This is a yearlong course and therefore, it is a yearlong commitment. Students who complete and pass this course have the option to receive one high school credit, a Carnegie Unit. If you have already accepted a Biology placement for next year, you would not be able to sign up for the Latin course since they are both offered in the am.
The successful completion of the High School Latin 1 course will enable students to take the second year of Latin (Latin II) as a freshman in high school. This will allow students the opportunity to take additional, advanced language study during their tenure at Brookwood High School.
This course will be offered daily at Brookwood High School from 7:25-8:14 am. Transportation will not be provided. Therefore, students must have a ride to Brookwood High School and back to their respective middle school. Daily participation is required to be successful in the class, therefore, it may limit before-school opportunities on the middle school campus.
We have limited space in this course, and the slots will be evenly distributed between our feeder middle schools, Five Forks and Crews. Student placement will be based on their semester 1 grade in Language Arts. Students must have an 85 or above to be registered for the course. If more students register than there is room, a lottery will be used to select students for the class.
Interested students should go to the following web address and complete the Google Form by Friday, May 1st:
