Attention 6th Grade Parents!
JRG Registration for Woodland Intermediate 6th Graders
A counselor from JR Gerritts will be meeting with 6th grade students at Woodland Intermediate on February 22, 2024 to discuss course selections for next year. During this time:
Students will be given an informational presentation on the different course offerings as well as the process for class registration.
After the presentation, students will receive a paper course selection form upon which they will indicate their course choices. Parents or Guardians are asked to review and sign off on these choices no later than March 8th, 2023.
Students who have turned their course selection forms will complete course registration in their homerooms on March 11, 2024
Keep in mind that students with exceptional educational needs may have other support or enrichment classes that are not listed in the required courses. You will not select those classes yet. If needed, school staff will help you register for those classes at the appropriate time.
If you’d like more information about classes offered at JR Gerritts prior to the presentation on March 7th, please view the 7th Grade Course Booklet.
If you have any questions ahead of time, please feel free to contact Rob DeLain, Principal of JR Gerritts at 920.788.7905 or rdelain@kimberly.k12.wi.us.
