Hi all! We found that someone shared this blog's address on the Save Seattle Schools blog. Everyone is welcome! Please respect, however, that this blog is for the purpose of planning JAMS (the curriculum and school, not the student body makeup) and please keep your discussion civil. Thanks!
October 17th School Board Work Session – Staff-recommended proposal:
“North Middle Schools: Full Grade Assignment in Year One”
As part of the October 17th Work Session, SPS Staff presented an alternative to the Oct 16th JAMS implementation proposal, in which students are assigned to JAMS for grades 6-8, instead of opting in at grades 7 and 8.
Here is a link to the presentation from the October 17th Growth Boundaries work session.
A synopsis of the Staff-recommended proposal for starting JAMS as a full comprehensive middle school, grades 6-8, in Year One.
Beginning 2014-15:
a. JA K-8 to John Marshall (two years interim)*.
b. JAMS AA** students (APP, GenEd, SpEd), grades 6-8, assigned to JAMS in the JA building (Geo-split from Eckstein).
c. APP students living in Eckstein AA, grades 6-8), assigned to JAMS in the JA building (Geo-split from Hamilton APP).***
*JA-K-8 students may chose to go to JAMS, but this choice MUST be made during the Open Enrollment period.
**The JAMS Attendance Area is not explicitly defined in the proposal (the previous proposal had John Rogers, Olympic Hills, and Cedar Park feeding into JAMS).
***APP students have a dual assignment to Eckstein, and may opt out of APP to attend Eckstein.
