Dear Future 7th Graders (and Parents/Guardians):

It is hard to believe it is time to plan for next school year! Like last year, you will have the option to enroll in Band, Choir, Intervention, or both Band and Choir.

In order to select your courses you will need to join the Class of 2030 google classroom using the code: yxkqmjo

Many of you are already enrolled in the google class room from last year!

After joining the google classroom please complete the 7th grade course request form. It is very important that you have a conversation with your parents/guardian regarding your selection for next school year.

If you have any questions about the seventh grade scheduling process please feel free to contact me. All forms should be completed by April 25th!

I am looking forward to another wonderful year!
