As a student begins the seventh grade, it is time to start thinking about what sort of academic program is most appropriate. What a student takes in seventh and eighth grade affects course selection in high school, so it is important to consider seventh grade as the beginning of a six-year curriculum at the secondary level of public education.

Parents and students should be aware that course selection should be a good fit for the student’s abilities, work habits, and interests. For example, if a student is not ready for an academic elective such as French or Spanish, then he can wait until ninth grade to begin his study of Foreign Language and still meet the requirements established by the University of California / California State University systems.

Middle school students still need to explore what they are interested in, what they excel at, and what engages them, which is why we have so many elective options available.

We are sorry, but the applications for Leadership, Video Production, and Yearbook are no longer available to fill out through the school website.  If it is before 3pm on Friday, April 6th and you still want to fill out an application, please go to the School Loop News section where you will still be able to find the links.  If it is after 3pm on Friday, April 6th, then you have missed the deadline for filling out an application for these classes for the following year.  Please try again next year.

Sign up sheets for interviews will be up the week after Spring Break.  If we have received an email from your parent, you may go to the appropriate room to sign up for your interview.  Sign up sheets will be hanging outside PT-1 for Leadership, room 101 for Video Production, and PT-11 for Yearbook.

Thank you!
Mrs. Sos, Mrs. Cicatelli, and Mrs. McDonald
