For those students who qualify for advanced science, Physical Science, also a high school credit course, is an option in 8th grade. No application is needed; students will be placed in this course based on current class placement, test scores and teacher recommendation. A separate notification letter will be sent home this spring to eligible students.
World Language Option
Your student may wish to apply for French 1 or Spanish 1, a fifth core class for which students can earn one high school elective credit. Students must meet certain eligibility requirements outlined on the form that will be sent home.
Online applications for French and Spanish will be due by Friday, February 21st. Late applications may not be considered.
