Dear Maple Grove Families,
The purpose of this letter is to inform you of the benefits and opportunities for your child to participate in advanced coursework at Maple Grove Junior/Senior High School.
While advanced coursework provides an opportunity for your child to gain skills and demonstrate competencies at a higher level, advanced coursework provides other benefits as well. Other benefits of participation in advanced coursework may include:
- improving a student’s self-confidence and image of self.
- demonstrating a student’s preparedness for college-level coursework.
- earning college credit(s) prior to graduation.
- reducing future costs for higher education.
- reducing the amount of time that the student must spend in secondary and/or post-secondary school.
Eligibility for these courses varies. Annual discussions with your teachers and counselors about interests, aptitudes, and future goals will be the most effective way to design and implement a plan. The following supports are provided by your child’s school to help students succeed in advanced courses:
|
Academic Supports
- Daily individualized support
- Weekly after school small group/individual instruction
- Google Classrooms and digital communication with all staff
