Math Assessment for Incoming 6th Graders
In order to assist with our programming for next year, we are inviting incoming 6th grade SAS (Honors) and IHP students to participate in a math assessment to be held on Thursday, May 3rd, or Wednesday, May 9th, from 3:30 PM to 5:00 PM (You only need to attend one of these days). This assessment will help teachers prepare differentiated instruction in their classrooms. There is no need to make a reservation for this assessment and we will provide all the materials necessary for the assessment. Please bring your child to the front of the school auditorium on either date at 3:30 PM. If you leave during the assessment, please return no later than 4:30 PM.
Incoming 6th Grade Students Enrichment Preference Form:
Students entering sixth grade at Walter Reed may state a preference for taking a music class or participating in the California Cadet Corps. Feeder students will be given these forms in their school, although students not in the local feeder area will be required to fill out the form and return to Walter Reed SLC or Counseling Office before May 11th. We will try to accommodate your preferences as best we can, however, academic programming takes precedence over enrichment class programming. Please print all information and return to your teacher by Friday, May 11th.
