New course for Rising 7th & 8th Grade Students:
Rising 7th and 8th grade students will have a new elective option. We are fortunate to offer a new elective course for our students for the 2023-2024 school year. The course is an opportunity for our T-Wolves to continue their pathway of technology during their middle school years. Incoming 7th and 8th grade students can add our new course, Principles of Art, A/V and Communications, as one of their choice electives. Principles of Art, A/V and Communications develops a keen proficiency in oral and written communication while using their strong background in computer and technology applications. The student will use skills while completing Arts, Audio/Video Technology and Communication projects. Students are expected to use the internet, writing, publishing software, presentation software in addition to spreadsheets or other database programs in this class.
This is a full year course. If your child is interested in taking this course for the 2023-2024 school year, complete the google form. The seats for this course are limited, so act fast.

5/30 Deadline for Skyward Course Request Changes:
Please make sure to check your child’s Course Requests in Skyward to ensure classes chosen as course requests and alternates are what they would like. Students should have English, Math, Science, Social Studies, PE or Athletics, and 3 electives under My Requests. Then, at least two alternate electives should be listed under the tab when you click on Alternates. Remember, that all students will get 3 electives this upcoming school year, unless they need a math or reading acceleration class due to not passing STAAR.
Please remember that these are a student’s course REQUESTS. Actual schedules will not be finalized and viewable in Skyward until August. While we do our best to provide students with their first three elective choices, alternate electives may be used if there is no class availability. Should you want to change your student’s course requests, the student or parent may email their grade level counselor. Current 6th and 7th graders should email Mrs. White or Dr. Martinez. Current 8th graders must email their high school counselor listed on the high school’s webpage. The last day to request a change in course requests is Tuesday, May 30, 2023. Due to staffing allocations, this is a firm deadline.
