Latin School students who wish to place out of a math course in the 2008-2009 academic year by taking the course during the summer of 2008 are required to speak with the Math Department chair before summer courses start. This conference will ensure that students are reasonably placed. At the end of the summer, each student will need to meet with the Math Department chair to review the quality of the summer work and to determine the most appropriate math placement for the upcoming school year.
