To Current and Former Students of SJMC:

Please join us on Friday, May 24th, for the final meeting of the 2018-2019 
school year.

Stan Isaacs will bring a wonderful collection of puzzles and we will have
plenty of pizza. Students (including former students and students who
plan to apply for 2019-2020) and their parents and families are invited to
attend.  We will give awards to participants of our monthly math contest.

We will supply the pizza, chips, fruits, cookies and fruit juice. If you wish,
you may bring additional food for either just your family or to share.

If you plan to attend, and haven’t done so already, please RSVP by filling

Admission Decisions sent for 2018-2019

According to our records, we have now sent e-mail responses to everyone who applied for admission for the 2018-2019 academic year.
If you applied and have not received a response, please let us know by sending us an e-mail.
This year we had twice as many students apply to our Intermediate class as we had room for. This forced us to turn away many qualified students. If you have any questions please let us know and we will respond as best we can.

The San Jose Math Circle is a non-profit organization
