Student Elective Course Requests for 2017-18

All current 6th and 7th grade students will be requesting their elective courses for next year starting on Thursday, March 2nd.  The window to select their courses will remain open on Infinite Campus until the end of the day on Monday, March 6th.  Below you will find a link to the Elective Course description catalog with all of the choices for electives for next year (in addition to other helpful elective request information).  Please note that some courses have prerequisites (or need teacher recommendations) and also note that some of the elective options are full year courses.  Students will receive instructions during their LEAD class on how to register for electives for next year, so please discuss the elective options with your student before then.  Students will automatically be enrolled in their music classes unless they had a converation with their music teacher.  Students who are not in music will need to register for 4 courses for next year, and select 2 additional courses as alternates.  Any student who is in music will only need to select 2 courses for next year, and 2 alternates.
