Dear Parents,
In the coming weeks you and your 5th grader will sit down to select courses for 6th grade. Birdville ISD offers Pre-AP courses in the four foundation subjects of math, English language arts and reading (ELAR), social studies, and science. Eligibility for entrance into Pre-AP Math and ELAR are determine by student performance on specific data points. The levels of recommended performance indicate if your child is academically ready for the pace and rigor of these Pre-AP courses. While there is no specific performance level recommended for social studies and science, it is a good idea to carefully consider that these advanced courses will also require advanced reading levels, intensive writing, and sophisticated products. These courses may require more time dedicated to research, homework, and independent problem-solving.
