  1. Parent Meeting Holmes Middle School Saturday School Intervention

  2. Why was your child selected? 2018-2019 SBAC scores Standard Nearly Met

  3. Standard Nearly Met… what does that mean? Standard Nearly Met means the student is close to meeting the achievement standard and may need further development to demonstrate skills and knowledge required for future coursework. In grades 6-8 and 11, a score in this range indicates further development may be needed to succeed in entry-level college courses after graduation.

  5. Grades vs. Test Scores Class-Based Grades (Department/Teacher grading policy) • Assessments, participation, assignments, class work • Variables: grading scale/rubric, extra credit, late/makeup work Standardized Test (measures student proficiency) • Tests are uniform and score results can be compared • More rigorous academic standards, emphasizing critical thinking problem solving and analytical writing • Measures knowledge and skill in specific content areas

  6. Saturday School Overview • Focus on grade-level standards, not remediation • Supports English and Math curriculum • Online programs in English and Math can be used at home • Writing across the curriuculum • 9 Saturdays: September 21, 28, October 5, 12, 19, 26 and November 2, 9, 16

  10. College Readiness Alignment LAUSD’s high school graduation requirements align with the minimum course requirements needed to apply to a Cal State University or University of California. However, fulfillment of the requirements does not guarantee acceptance. For competitive colleges/universities, it is recommended that students take courses beyond the minimum course requirements.

  11. A- G Grade-Level Benchmarks Universities, including CSUs and UCs, do not consider a D a passing grade and will not accept any “a-g” course in which the student has earned less than a C. Students who graduate with Ds in their a-g courses can still pursue other post-high school educational opportunities, like community colleges, and transfer to a university in the future.

  12. YOU CAN... Provide a home environment that encourages learning. Set realistic expectations for your child’s school achievement and future career.
