Jackiemama, ALAP is the closest thing the elementary students have to "honors." You seem to be misinformed about the program and I would like to clarify some of these points for you:

1. The ALAP program IS open to all who qualify to be in it.

2. The students receive a report card twice a year for ALAP (aside from the classroom report card).

3. As for "everyday" classes versus "45 min." a week. ALAP is an hour and a half once a week. These students should be provided with the program more than a once a week.

4. If you view the ALAP website, you will see that:

•Students in ALAP must meet the following

expectations each year:

•Maintain a minimum B average in reading

and math and/or Proficient level in the

regular classroom.

•Come prepared to ALAP with appropriate

materials to work on projects, i.e., pencils,

pens and other supplies as determined by

project specifications given in prior ALAP

class.

•Completion of assignments for due dates.

•Regular attendance on ALAP days and

make up of work missed if absent.
