If you haven't applied for any Middle School Adelaide application is the quicker you are on whatever program you're applying for their leg lifts this is Donna what we haven't had we're going to be passing again this year for the first time in a couple years but the last time we had a few nights and weekends. School in our area they're they're not necessarily last last time I got you. I'll give you a snapshot of how we're doing where some where over here separated by 5/8 percentage points from the number one spot we're always looking to be number one from a very competitive but no idea how would you try reading and they're about generally the same area when I took a look at how well they're doing a can go to the website. public website that you can compare to school but of course that's important to really good look at that has a larger percentage of standard or and green but it's not the only other activity that parents are looking for John Burroughs we offer opportunities for the robotics program and I'm in there clapping you other robotics program the Vex Robotics and Robotics from them and is also in that are part of our we offer enrichment for our students on a different job is done and I got tickets to the orchestra your back French and I fast like it actually didn't take Spanish a MB or for whole year and they do well in the Kern High School images and poured on that they were preparing for a one of our previous superintendent how to write you your products and different. new years ago our school went to San Jose and we went up to you and visit a school that had a wonderful partnership with Google and Google I am doing Google provided any kind of technical needs at the school and then we saw a lifetime of a r Makerspace room with a C what looks like a recording studio but it was made for this weekend so we brought a couple and one of them with the Makerspace we came back and I'll do it with you and with the help of the parents telling you that I'm a castration girl Hi and then on the bottom right is the immerser when you when you think of a typical three even mentioned in that you can ask her and manipulate the items that come out in the theater mention of face I need to turn around or incredibly strong for the kickoff of the teachers that we're really excited we have a large National Junior Honor Society chapter at the school site we refrigerate there then jhr and a big part of the I'm around sure you didn't fall into your sternum out of hours with the program and even when we were at home and didn't restore volunteering reading today at around there right at 7 or doing extra chores around the house but there is a wonderful service. But she's our other program anybody this is Aaron he does perform for us a couple times a year and this year actually because of the restrictions with large bothering to creating a virtual concert artist that works cited I am miss you as I every year hasn't been wonderful production connection with their hair spray, she can move on and be in the chance while at the end of the school year we have participated in a academic pentathlon our organization of competition in Orange County for a number of years and the reason we competed in our accounting as we do not have that I did it again in chapter Los Angeles there were questions in the shop which is fine it's just it's a smaller screen for the little bit harder for me to see them so if you don't mind putting your questions in the q-and-a instead and then there were a couple of questions that I thought you might want to just to let you know that the parents are thinking about for example one parent was asking if we have any programs available for students interested in drawing comic books or similar artists so I'm the electors that we have with the one that we reviewed at the beginning is fine currently we do not have a visual arts Electric in and around is drama and retired I would like to chat what is our overall acceptance rate for 6th grade well let me get to that Atlantic program when we do have the partnership with her beyond the bell after school program but also we do have some fire football game Anna that's not boring responsibility department and also every day the students do not have physical education we do get a lot of questions regarding to get the magnet that they are and the school programs are on and the eligibility for each program at the question which is better there's a similar program in Napa eligibility and rigor is going to be the same. the eligibility for the program has traditionally relied more on vacation for critical thinking criteria category has been away to order principal at there I'm a bit on the system so there is trauma tribulation points are awarded when June comes or when they are in 8th grade and Ninth Grade they received another 12 matriculation point they're not even worth it so you wouldn't have to for example high school if you're still mad when you're ready to go to the next level Baraka Wheeler's Point associated with the magnet program and the witch hunter and those miles are are rated the best way to think about them as a straight line from the picture I say I said there's no transportation and there's no, but there is a coyote's get into residential families that makes the criteria so if you live in an area and your hours don't forget the district attorney want you to apply for it cuz this is a little bit different and I can your  coordinator Joy Elementary School contact rapping sad if you do live in the area and even trying to apply after that it won't the four critical thinking criteria I could have a question so what's up with that is that you choices but I act like you here as well so if your child meet those for critical thinking has areas that is just another manner or way to make an hour the other and probably the best way I think that is the difficulty. the magnet to think that there to raise the higher, but not content white more complexity of a lot turn the features expand started a challenge. We also offer to do language program Anna Crandall both of my parents follow and 56% of the day will be 50% of your day students that don't know the language I don't know are already coming at your program with a certain level are the native speaker of out of that language if you're serious about eligibility or qualification he's not coming from a program I'm we do provide and with her at all right now actually we're atmosphere here who don't buy cameras disabled right now I am no longer a co-host after I gave the task to The Interpreter so just assume things so I will just say you'll hear my voice and and see my picture and then the important thing though is that you can see the it is being presented by mr. Corral on our accelerated math Pathways and so how that works is that when students arrive at John Burroughs middle school they're all programmed into, and that's regardless of which program the content that they would be working on and then mentioned earlier if they are in the murder in sixth grade level that would be Dux be a novelty differentiation for any student for appropriate or all students are capable of learning math to high levels and to have lots of options for High School College and Career and we expect that our high-quality will also engage students and they seem very excited about that capable of engaging with me so what will happen then is that if the student in any program for a fall and spring semester send scores a met or exceeded on the Xbox and we are starting up taking us back again this year than those who would automatically be programmed at the 7th grade level years in a row they would be doing a year-and-a-half of math content and one year and therefore by the time they get to high school or 9th grade they would be one year ahead of the typical student I would say is generally about half of our students qualify for that program to be a third to a half and I'm very proud of the preparation that are 6th grade give to the student so I think that's why we have a high rate like that typically and because of the fact that we are a large school every year we usually have about 25 to 30 6th grader who I require early acceleration to most experts advise that we provide a solid foundation for student and 6th grade and then we aren't even so we will have some since that are they have already learned a lot of the 6th grade math content and so we give all of our students and all of her program she placement test by the first week of school and any students that have mastered a majority of the 6th grade math standards that are on the placement test if they qualify for or would require early acceleration to need 30 and so we have a special event highly accelerated class that we invite the students to join based on another grave in 1 year or two years are you want to really make sure that we're very careful about who is invited to join that that would stress out your student or Pastor Pace our real goal is to make sure that they are all feeling capable would be two years ahead of the typical student by 9th grade and be a common core Algebra 2 there are other options for accelerating in high school but that highly accelerated pathway is the most acceleration you can do acceleration in high school so you can still get to the same point so we are very cautious about placing our goal is to achieve their goals and take AP Calculus in high school and all of them will have lots of options for College and Career and be well prepared for stem Fields if that is their interest and so I have and all that so if you have a question you're more than welcome to email me I'll put my email address in the chat and you'll also see mr. Krause end of the presentation will be showing you all of our email addresses and we are more than happy if your questions that are specific to your child to contact us and we're happy to answer any questions you may have and I will pass it back over to a little bit of social emotional we have three academic counselor that can assist with academic that are dedicated and the counselor will travel with this year's sixth grade counselor will follow them onto the seventh grade and and then to be a freak we're kind of full-time psychologists are we had a distemper vaccine and achievement plan counselor and people services a wonderful partnership with a year there are fine and they actually need some more ideas are other counseling and then offer more intensive counseling questions. And we are and face in the morning part of that was the structure that we laid out for the state when we apply Pinnacle Ridge tomorrow so it was a door model y I think they're so we believe in building and we also want to build resilience while they're scared and no don't I got model along with the support structure and a partnership that we could stay and we we were awarded the gold ribbon because I really had to be a soldier are you more sick mean that you have a number of progress reports that the final war will be in there and most of you are joining us from any number Basics them once before but you'll be and you'll be transition to Connecticut. receiver 4.0 back you know what were we are expecting us to be able to make the final four and it's been example film I'll let you know is that the students per progressing well but it's an opportunity to let you know also that is near your house not crappy and they're having a orange West Side Hamilton.
