Scheduling for 2020-2021

2020-2021 6th/7th/8th Grade Students, Parents, and Guardians,

It is time to schedule for the 2020-21 school year. This year, the scheduling process will take place virtually over the course of the next two weeks:

1.This week (April 27-May 1) - Explore all of the related arts programs - review related arts course information for your level's related arts options (link below) . These linked documents have course descriptions, course requirements, and a program video. Your counselor will also invite you to participate in Zoom conferences with related arts teachers this coming Thursday at 12pm and 6pm. This will be an opportunity to meet teachers and ask questions that might help you select the related arts courses that are the best match for you!

2. Next Week (May 4 - May 8) - Your grade level counselor will distribute to students a "how to" schedule video and share a google form on which students will make course selections. Students will rank their top 3 choices, and the counseling team will do their best to place students in their top 2 choices.

Additional Teacher Support for Learning at Home

Members of the Indiana Retired Teachers Association (IRTA) are launching a program to provide academic assistance to all students free of charge. This is a great opportunity for students and parents to have access to additional academic support during the final weeks of the school year. Information flyers are linked: Flyer 1 / Fyler 2

Internet Access Survey

MSD of Warren Township is evaluating our technology needs and how to better serve our families and students of the district. Since iPads and Chromebooks require a WiFi connection, we are interested to know whether our students have access to WiFi at home.
