A BYOD form was sent home, along with the Cobb County Online Technology Use form – please return and sign if you have not yet. BYOD 6th Grade Policy: Students will be told when BYOD is planned for a class. Students will be sent to their locker to retrieve their device at the beginning of that class period. When that class is over, the student will be sent to their locker again, to place the device back for safe keeping. Students will be told how they may use their device for that class ONLY. BYOD is under the same internet restrictions as the entire school. Any unauthorized use of the device will cause the teacher to collect the device and turn it into the front office administrators. A parent/guardian will then have to come to the school to pick up the device. Any student whose device has been turned in to the front office, will forfeit their opportunity to use BYOD in any class for the remainder of the year. Students ARE NOT required to have or use a device. This is simply a way to incorporate more technology into student learning.

ADVANCED CONTENT CLASSES: The curriculum and instructional strategies for this course are differentiated in content, pacing, process skills emphasis, and expectation for student outcomes from the typical math course. Curriculum content has been designed for mastery and extension of state and district performance standards. The course is appropriate for students who have high achievement and interest in math. Students are placed in this class according to specified indicators of demonstrated exceptional ability and motivation. Students must meet continuation criteria to remain in the class and these criteria require that the students maintain an 80% or better average in the class. If the semester average falls below 80%, then the student will be placed on academic probation for the following 18 week semester. If the student does not achieve 80% or greater at the end of the probationary period, then they will be removed from the AC course for all of the subsequent semesters. Your signature below indicates that you have read and understand the continuation criteria. In addition, students must maintain an 80% test average to continue to ACMath7.
