Subject: 	Course Recommendations for Algebra Students

Algebra Parents:

It is time to select courses for next year. The procedure in the math
 department is for the current teacher to make a recommendation for
 next year. I am sending home my recommendation for next year to you.
 You need to decide which course you want your child to enroll in next
 year. Regardless of whether you agree or disagree with my
 recommendation, you and your child need to sign the form and have your
 child return it to me. I would like to get the forms back by next
 Tuesday, 1/11. If I don't get the forms back, the student will have to
 serve a detention every day until the form is turned in. Lost forms
 will result in a detention as well.

All students are being recommended for Geometry which is the next
 class in the BHS math sequence. The only decision is which level the
 students should be advancing to. The Program of Studies book describes
 the different levels on page 7. For Geometry BHS offers 2 levels:
 Accelerated and Honors. Since the Algebra class is at the Accelerated
 level, the students are being recommended for the accelerated level of
 Geometry. If you and your child feel that they should be in the honors
 level, feel free to contact me and we can discuss it.

I am also giving the students a progress report for the current marking
 period that you should review with them. 

Mr. Brown
