order to bolster student success, Montgomery County Public Schools is offering summer programs at each middle school to
provide extended instructional time for students who want to strengthen their skill base and enhance their content knowledge
of curriculum. The extended year program will provide reading or mathematics instruction for students who have not been
successful with MCPS English/reading or mathematics curriculum. Classes will consist of a review of concepts from previous
years’ curricula and a preview of the curriculum students will experience in the 2016-17 school year. Rocky Hill MS will offer the

Dear Parents and Guardians,
Rocky Hill Middle School will be offering an extended year program called Focus on Mathematics. These classes are
designed for students who, with additional mathematics instruction, will be able to maximize their potential to be
successful in an Algebra class next school year.
Students will receive instruction on content that is essential to future success in algebra. However, completion of a Focus
on Mathematics course does not mean your child will automatically be enrolled in an above-level class in the fall.
Participants will receive support to increase skills for success in whichever mathematics class they are enrolled for the
2016-17 school year. Emphasis will be on enabling students to make the transition in thinking from concrete to abstract
experiences, using a variety of modes of learning to meet individual student needs and learning styles.
$75
