This document outlines four key measures to determine if students are 'Transition Ready' upon exiting middle school. These measures include Literacy/Numeracy (assessed by MAP percentiles or KSA P/D and class completion), GPA/Advanced Coursework (with a target GPA of 2.8), Attendance, and participation in Extra/Co-Curricular activities. The document explains the rationale behind each measure and indicates they will be combined to provide an overall 'Transition Ready' designation.

Transition Readiness Framework
This framework outlines four key measures to determine a student's transition readiness upon exiting elementary school. These measures include Literacy/Numeracy (assessed by MAP scores, KSA P/D, and successful completion of core ELA and Math classes), GPA/Advanced Coursework (requiring a 2.8 GPA or Prep/Prep+ identification in math and reading), Attendance (maintaining a 90% rate), and participation in at least one extra/co-curricular activity. The combination of these indicators will provide an overall designation of transition readiness for each student.
