Elective Courses
Beginning Band
Instructor: Mr. Kyle Rieger
Length of Course: Full Year
Course Description:
The Beginning Band is made up of students who wish to learn to play a band instrument. Students are tested at the beginning of the year to determine which instrument best suits them. Once everyone has an instrument, students attend one section lesson a week and one period of full band every day. Regular concert appearances by the band include winter, spring, and “Pops” concerts. Students learn to play all styles of music from classical to movie and television hits.
Choir
Instructor: Ms. Kimber Parker
Length of Course: Full Year
Course Description:
Beginning Choir is open to all 6th graders regardless of musical experience! We sing a variety of music: from American folk songs and Spanish lullabies to Ed Sheeran and Bruno Mars! Choir is a year-long commitment and includes evening concerts. In this class, we learn how to read music, sing with good vocal technique, and we have a lot of fun! Join choir to make music, make memories, and make friendships that last forever!
Technology
Instructor: TBD
Length of Course: Full Year
Course Description:
Seaside Middle School is excited for the opportunity to add a new elective for next year. The Technology elective course will provide students with opportunities to increase their tech skills and learn about basic coding, digital art design, and basic web design through project based learning and real-world applications.

Summer School Information
1st-5th Grades
Pacific Ridge Families,
In response to the pandemic and a year of online learning, the Oregon Department of Education has allocated funding for Summer Programs for students who will be entering grades 1-12 in Fall of 2021. As a result, Seaside School District will be able to offer a variety of Summer School opportunities and Summer Camps in August, with transportation and sack lunches included.
Pre-registration for programs will be prioritized for students most needing to make up graduation credits (Grades 10, 11, & 12) and unfinished learning (Grades 1 through 9); remaining slots will then be made available to all students. High School students who need to make up credits towards graduation will be eligible for programs focusing on Credit Recovery, tutoring, or Summer School credit opportunities. For elementary students, fifty of the slots for summer camp will also qualify for wraparound childcare services through the Sunset Empire Parks and Recreation District during summer sessions.
Parents whose students are prioritized for these programs based on data gathered this spring will be contacted for registration first. Our aim is to serve as many students as possible. After May 17, 2021, any remaining registration slots will be opened to all other students.
You may also see a Bookmobile cruising through your neighborhood once a week this summer. The Bookmobile, curated by our Seaside District Library staff, will deliver free books once a week to predetermined drop off spots in Cannon Beach, Seaside, Gearhart, and Cullaby Lake. More information on days, times, and locations will be announced in June.
