Ready or not, transition time is already here! This newsletter will contain helpful information to guide you and your child through the transition process. The students will soon fill out their course cards for next year. Please begin conversing with them about elective choices and opportunities for advanced classes. Scroll down to find their grade level.

7th grade will be a significant change! Students can select two electives and have opportunities for a high school credit course and advanced classes. If you are interested in trying something new, you can choose a different elective than last year. If you enjoyed your 6th-grade elective and want to move on to intermediate skills and improve your talents, you can take the next level of that course.

See below for course information.

8th graders will enjoy more electives, high school credit, and advanced options. Check out the information below to brainstorm what you would like your 8th-grade year to entail. If you are ready for a challenge, then take an advanced course. Is there an elective you have always wanted to try? This is your chance! Make your last year at Rudder the best.

Remember, your high school credit course grade contributes to your high school GPA.
