Elective Course Information & Registration

Online Electives Course Request Information

Elective course requests for our current 6th and 7th-grade students will begin in February and the window for incoming 6th graders is in early March. Our course selection process is fairly simple:  Altona will schedule students’ Science, Social Studies and LEAD courses for all students and teachers will recommend students for their Math and Language Arts courses.

All students will request their electives for next year through Infinite Campus, either at home or during LEAD class (for current students). Our counselors and administrators will make themselves available to help those students who need it, so please look for communication about this to come out in late February.  The Altona counseling and administration teams will visit both Blue Mountain and Eagle Crest Elementary Schools to help our feeder incoming 6th graders register for their elective choices. All students will need to fill out a hard copy of the elective request worksheets and submit them to the school during the elective course request window.
