Waggoner Road Junior High Legends
Quarantine Edition 3 May 8, 2020
ACADEMIC INFORMATION
Schedules are under way for our 6th and 7th grade students for the 20-21 SY. As we prepare the schedules I have been getting questions from parents regarding the Electives for the 20-21 SY. If you refer back to the January newsletters we set out to inform parents of high school courses being offered and elective options for all students. Since then there have been some adjustments made to those options and they are re-iterated below:
HS Courses offered for the 2020/21 SY are:
- Gym 1 or Gym 2
- IM 1
- IM 2
- Health
- Enriched English 9
- Spanish 1
- Spanish 2
STUDENTS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SELECT ELECTIVES FOR 20/21 SY.
Here at WRJH we have only 6 electives outside of year long electives that include:
- Spanish
- Choir
- Orchestra
- Band
If your student is not in one of these year long electives they must participate is all 6 electives that we offer here at Waggoner. We are working to make sure these electives fall into appropriate grade levels, therefore we must be purposeful in the placement of students. That being said all students will have the following:
7th graders:
Art
PE1
World Cultures
8th graders:
PE2
Health
Design
There are some instances where the current 7th graders have already taken the 8th grade electives, so for the 20/21 SY they will take the elective they missed from 7th grade with 7th graders.
ACCELERATION
Students who are not enrolled in an accelerated track but wish to take HS credited English or Math must meet minimum requirements in order to be enrolled in those advanced courses. If you are requesting that your student take an advanced HS course and they are not on an accelerated path, please complete the google form below to indicate that interest.
We will no longer be offering Yoga or College and Career Readiness.
Here is a presentation on acceleration courses

Students will be asked to enter through Door #14, they will check in at a table set up at that door.
Students may only enter the building with 1 additional family member.
After checking-in students will check in their chromebook (if they have one), drop off any work that they might need to submit in the relative boxes
They can then pick up end-of-the year certificates and awards.
7th grade Students will receive their tentative schedules for next year (if we are able to complete them all in that time.)
8th graders will receive a gift from the school
Students will then proceed to clear their locker.
Students and guest will then exit at the end of the hallway out of Door #2 or 3.
No more than 5 students and their escort will be permitted in the building at one time.
Please adhere to the specific day for your student, as we have to minimize entry to the building and will not allow those who are not to be in the building at the time to take over the space of those who are there on the allotted date and time. This process may be time consuming so if we do not have order, it will create chaos.
When you return library books and any other items please have a piece of paper attached by sticky or tape indicated the name of the student returning the item.
These will be the only two days available for students. If you are unable to come to the building at these designated times, you take the chance of items left in lockers being donated to goodwill. Please plan accordingly for the specific day relative to your students grade level.
Washington DC Trip - rescheduled!
