  4. Placement criteria • Current math course • Grade in math course • Teacher recommendation only after pre-requisite is met. • http://www.sbschools.org/schools/sbhs/school_information/courses (The online course book has been rewritten and is very user friendly now)

  5. Levels of Physics available for 9th grade • Traditional (level I) • Honors • AP

  6. Summer courses • Chemistry offered at high school – don’t count toward GPA will appear on transcript if Option II form has been filled out, but qualify as pre-requisites for higher level course. • There will be a lab practicum that students need to pass for summer science • Concerns about summer courses - long term retention, growth over the year versus over 6 weeks
