PASS
Algebra I teachers hosted a Preliminary Algebra Summer Session or PASS on July 28th, July 29th, and July 30th. The goal of PASS is to have students more prepared for the first day of 9th grade, and to have them thrive throughout the semester in their 9th grade Algebra I. Students participated in hands-on experiences and discovery opportunities such as Proportions with Measurements of Objects using Shadows, Problem Solving Strategies with Algebra puzzles, and Battleship with Coordinate Grids.  Students had the opportunity to work with each Algebra teacher.
