Course Titles Are Changing! Be Prepared for Next Year:
Beginning in the Fall of 2021, the title of Pre-Advanced Placement (Pre-AP) courses will change. In the 2021-2022 Course Catalog, these courses will be referred to as Advanced. For example, if a class was previously called Pre-AP Geometry, it will now be named Advanced Geometry. The change is in name only; the curriculum and related services will remain the same. The Advanced title more closely aligns course titles with the strong programming MISD already has in place and clearly identifies and defines the courses as advanced in content.
5th Grade Only: All Pre-AP and Advanced course designations are being removed effective in the 2021-2022 school year. All 5th grade courses will be on-level. This gives teachers and students the opportunity to establish a strong foundation for future advanced programming coursework, and it will better support the transition from elementary to a post-elementary model of instruction.
7th Grade Mathematics Only: Grade 7 Advanced Mathematics will continue to be an accelerated course where students will be expected to master both the 7th and 8th grade state standards and curriculums during the student’s 7th grade year and prior to subsequent enrollment into Algebra 1.
Should you or your student have any questions about the new course names or existing services, please contact your campus grade level counselor or the Advanced Academics Department at 817.299.4388.
