WHAT:  Advanced Work Q&A with principal, 4th & 5th AWC teachers, AWC parents and students.

WHEN: 8:30 – 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday, February 11.  We will begin at 8:30 sharp!

WHERE: Curley K-8 Auditorium (use main entrance at 493 Centre St.)

WHO: Current or new families considering the Curley for 4th grade AWC next year.

On Tuesday, February 11 at 8:30 a.m. the Curley K-8 will hold an Advanced Work Curriculum (AWC) info session with our principal, 4th & 5th grade AWC teachers, and current AWC parents and students. The session will run until approximately 9:30 a.m. and is aimed at current and prospective families whose children have been invited to 4th grade AWC next year and who are considering the Curley. If time allows, there may be an opportunity to observe an AWC classroom – but the nature of this meeting is primarily an info session/Q&A for parents.

Current AWC parents can also answer questions by phone or email, particularly if you are not able to attend this session. (NOTE: Current Curley AWC parents – if you’re willing to attend this meeting to talk to parents considering AWC, please email Carrie Fletcher.  It is extremely helpful for people who are trying to figure out this process to talk to someone who’s been through it.)

Open Seats. A number of people have asked how many seats are open at the Curley for transfers into 4th grade AWC. There are a total of 25 4th grade AWC seats at the Curley.  At least 13 current Curley 3rd graders have received invitations to Advanced Work – we do not know if all 13 will accept the invitation, although we suspect that most will – so we currently anticipate 12 open seats. We expect very few openings at 5th grade AWC; we typically see no more than 1-3 new students at 5th grade.

Reminder:  Court Street advises that 4th grade Advanced Work selection sheets will be due on March 21. Please keep an eye out for these sheets, which should come home in your child’s backpack in the next couple of weeks (if they haven’t already).
