Graduation requirements for students in the Classes of 2018, 2019, and 2020 will remain consistent with the current Agassi Prep requirements with the addition of two new requirements to ensure our scholars are college ready upon graduation:
- Each student must take and pass four years of math in order to graduate (previously students were only required to take 3 years of math).
- Each senior will take a civics course that enables them to design a community service based project they will administer to make an impact on their community.
Can I visit my student during the school day?
Yes! We do ask that in the first six weeks, parents and families allow for the systems and routines to solidify before visiting the classroom; thus no visits in that timeframe. After the first six weeks, parents are allowed to have 20-minute classroom visits. Parents receive weekly progress reports (a physical copy and emailed digitally) that share academic and behavioral data. The elementary distributes progress reports each Friday, and the middle and high schools do it each Wednesday.
