  7. Pre-AP Math If your child is not currently in 6th Grade Pre-AP Math, they can not select Pre-AP 7th Grade Math next year without first taking a placement exam. Placement exams are offered by the District during the Summer (Summer testing is usually scheduled in May). If you wish for your child to take this placement test, please contact their Math teacher or myself at cathy.gantt@humbleisd.net .

  8. Math and Reading Strategies Depending on your child’s Math and Reading STAAR scores, your child may be enrolled in an additional Math and/or Reading Strategies course next year. These courses are designed to provide remediation and preparation for STAAR in 7th and 8th Grade. Placement in these courses will take the place of an elective.

  20. Verification Sheets • Verification Sheets will be sent home later in the Spring. • The verification sheet is NOT A SCHEDULE. • The verification sheet is just VERIFYING what courses your child is requesting. • If the elective on the Verification Sheet is not available, I will go to the alternate choices selected on the course planning sheet. • A student may not get an elective due to a conflict with another class or the class may be full. 8th graders fill mixed electives first. • If you log into home access during the summer and see a schedule, this is inaccurate. Schedules are not finalized until school starts in August.
