My child is currently a fifth grader, how will he/she register for courses?

What do we need to know about PAP classes?

• PAP Science, social studies, and English Language Arts are open enrollment courses. However, the depth and understanding required for the course means that students must be organized, be prepared to do rigorous homework assignments, be able to manage time for in and outside class assignments. Being able to plan ahead is crucial.
• PAP math is also open enrollment but the student is expected to be working a grade ahead. Taking a PAP math class is demanding, quick paced, and requires that the student knows basic skills at a high level. Students should be scoring commended on state assessments to meet basic requirements of the course.
