Scheduling Information

The courses requiring students to apply or have a teacher recommendation for registration:

• Musical Theater (Bendy/ K.Johnson) - Students apply in 7th grade
• Yearbook (M. Johnson/ Witte) - Students apply in 7th Grade
• Spanish I (Cornett) - Recommendation
• Print Shop (Fogarty) -  Recommendation
• Peer Tutoring - Rising 7th and 8th Grade students can apply

Academic data and performance records are used for placing students in the appropriate level of courses. Because these placements are believed to be the ones that will provide students with the greatest opportunity for academic success, requests for changes should seriously be weighed by the parent/guardian. 

However, if a parent/guardian feels that such a change needs to be considered, an academic override form must be completed.  

For rising 8th grade parents/guardians, recommendations for high school credit classes cannot be changed even with an academic release. The reason is that these are classes for which the high school is giving the credit, not the middle school. Enrollment in honors-level classes in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade will not be changed after the first week of school.

Submission of this form does not guarantee a change in course placement. Requests will be reviewed by the grade-level counselor and the grade-level administrator. The administrator will either approve the change or request a parent meeting to gather information and/or address concerns.

In addition to the academic override request, parents/guardians must come to the school to get a grade-level counselor and an administrator to sign the Honors + High School Credit Course Permission Slip.
