PLACEMENT INFORMATION

Math

Placement in math courses is based on multiple measure criteria: grades in current math course, End of Course Assessment score, and the appraisal of student’s mathematical practices and work habits. For specific criteria, please visit our course of study catalog. If you are new to the district, there will be a math placement test for you offered at various times during the summer.

As always, there will be an appeal window with a digital appeal form. More information about the appeal process will be available in the math placement letter which will be sent to students/parents through Parent Squared in May.

For additional information about our math placement process, please access our website at https://iusd.org/about/departments/education-services/academics/stem/mathematics and click on the tab called “Parent Resources.” We have designed the math pathways to ensure the most appropriate math placement for each student and to ensure that students have multiple opportunities to accelerate, always ensuring that the developmental needs of students are met.

Social Studies

We will use multiple criteria to determine a student’s proper placement in Gen-Ed or Honors for Social Studies: Grades in both categories of History/Social Studies and Writing; Marks in citizenship and work habits; Appraisal of honor student characteristics. For specific criteria, please visit our course of study catalog.

As always, there will be an appeal window with a digital appeal form available May 3-8. If a student/parent wants to appeal placement, they need to fill out the digital appeal form. From there, the appeals team will examine all possible data points to determine placement before communicating the final decision to parents.

Blended Learning

We are excited as we continue our planning for the 2023-2024 school year. As part of that planning we wanted to share with you the options for students to “blend” their academic learning experience between our high school sites and our IUSD Virtual Academy (IVA). The IVA course of study can be found here: IVA Course of Study.

Students that would like to take 1-2 classes at IUSD Virtual Academy can request courses by contacting their school counselor. Information about full time enrollment at IUSD Virtual Academy 7-12 can be found here: https://iusd.org/about/iusd-enrollment/intradistrict-school-choice

Students who will be full time at IVA and want to “blend” with 1-2 classes at their assigned high school should work with their counselor to request those assigned high school courses at this time as well.

Key considerations for blending your educational experience:

Students overall course load should remain at 30 credits each semester (60 credits each year). Exceptions that allow more credits may include athletics, performing arts, service to the school, and intervention classes. Please see your home school registration information for details.
Blends will be contingent on scheduling at both sites, including space availability.
Students will need to retain primary enrollment at either the home school site or IVA. Primary enrollment is defined as 4 classes or more.

IVA may be a good fit for you. Please consider the following:

The student has an interest in taking a blended learning class and understands the expectations of such course work, including weekly online attendance and due dates.
The student requires scheduling flexibility for considerations such as: part-time work, socio-emotional support, an internship, elite athletic obligations, and/or family circumstances.
The class is not offered at the student’s school (e.g. specific world language).
