CFG Math and Reading at BFMS
The function of CFG (Consolidated Federal Grant) classes is to provide Tier 2 interventions school-wide. Ms. McAllister is the math CFG teacher and Mrs. Miller is the reading CFG teacher.
Students are chosen to attend CFG support classes based on:
• Teachers’ recommendations
• Report card grades
• NECAP scores
• AIMSweb assessments in reading fluency, reading comprehension, and
math computation
• Parents’ requests
Parents will be notified both by letter and a phone call from the math or reading classroom teacher.
Students are grouped based on their targeted skills needed for mastery. A pre-test is given, targeted skills practiced, progress monitored weekly, and a final post-test assessment is given. CFG classes last approximately 6 weeks after which the selection process is repeated with new groups formed.
Students in each grade have Learning Opportunities the same period with some not even having a Learning Opportunities period if they are in band or chorus. This necessitates having to pull some students from UA's, social studies or science. Students are NOT taken from math, reading or language arts, the NECAP tested subjects, so they are getting a “double dose” of math and/or reading. Students will receive a grade for their participation and effort in the CFG class.
Thank you for encouraging your child to make the best use of this valuable CFG time. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact either of the CFG teachers.
