2019-2020 Course Selection Forms
Course forms will be used to identify elective choices, as well as to request consideration for accelerated or extra support placement in math and Language Arts.
Elective choices for the fall are Band, Choir, Guided Study Hall (GSH), and Resource Lab. Guided Study Hall will be required assignment completion time followed by time to read. This course is replacing SSR. GSH is not graded. Eighth graders will also have the possibility of taking a high school elective course called Foundations of Agriculture. Participation in 8th grade choir requires a vocal tryout. Seventh graders not currently in choir but wishing to join, can see Ms. Kruth any morning at 7:55 in the main hall. She will be happy to arrange a tryout opportunity for you.
Spring Picture News!
Spring pictures have arrived! Students will have the opportunity to view their picture packages for during lunch on Monday, May 13th and Tuesday, May 14th in the Great Room. If students like them, they can sign them out and take them home to parents and guardians. If a student signs out a package there are three choices-
- Return the entire, uncut package.
- Keep all pictures and pay the full amount.
- Keep some picture and return remaining pictures and money for those purchased.
Parents can pay for pictures with cash or checks payable to Lifetouch. Parents can also pay for packages online (or order more pictures) via the Lifetouch link on the SMS website.
Remember, if you sign out your portrait package you are promising to return the photos or pay for them. Students who sign out a portrait package but do not return money or the photos will not be able to participate in their team’s end of year celebration.
Students that did not return or pay for last year's packages will not be able to sign for packages this year. Parents of students with this unpaid debt can view (and purchase) pictures through the office.
Money and full or partial picture packages will be collected in the mornings outside of the Great Room starting Wednesday, May 15th. Money for picture packages will be due by Wednesday, May 22nd.
