What is it?
Pre-AP courses are academically advanced courses
designed to challenge motivated students to understand
rigorous content. Course work is built on the core academic
curriculum following the Texas Knowledge and Skills (TEKS)
expectations for each course. The purpose is to lay
foundation for the college board test in language arts.

•Grade of 80 or more in a Pre-AP class
•Students that have been in the GT program
•Commended on TAKS Reading Test in sixth grade
•Read the course overview. Both a parent

their section of the agreement and give
contact information.

How will I know how I am doing?
1. Not all assignments are graded, some are assigned
to provide a learning opportunity or practice. However,
this does not mean that it does not count.
2. Not all assignments are equal. You are often given a
rubric with the assignment that explains how it will be
scored.
3. Parents can check your current grade by logging in to Parent
Portal 24/7.
4. At the end of the third week of each six weeks, progress
reports are posted and/or mailed. Grade cards are posted or
mailed at the end of each six weeks.

it is your responsibility to advise me that and to attend
tutoring.
