Hope your open house went well, Ania.
Our meeting was interesting:
Credit for work done in middle school toward HS placement and/or graduation.
The local district says they'll accept courses taught by "pre-AP" trained teachers teachers for placement. Assessments will be required for credit. They have not developed assessments beyond Alg 1, but will start working on it (maybe in time for my 7th grade DS). Our MS teachers will begin "pre-AP" training this spring.
District says no online courses in core subjects will be given credit if done in MS. Online or Community College credit will be credited in HS IF not offered at the HS, or IF they conflict with the student's schedule, or IF they are not same level of "rigor" (e.g., only honors offered, but student wants AP level--we would elect to do this when we know there is a weak teacher for a required course).
GPA calculation issues were not addressed, but our HS transfers grades and assess honors level to college level courses. AP level ONLY for AP designated courses (would have to be Online stuff that conflicts with schedule or is not offered by HS). So complicated/exhausting!
