Electives

6th Grade Wheel Electives:

• Art
• Drama / Life Skills
• Spanish
• Digital Art

*6th Grade students take each wheel elective for one quarter.

7th / 8th Grade Electives:

In February or March, students will receive two copies of an elective ranking form. The first copy they will turn into their advisory teacher. Students will take home the second copy and we ask that you look at their ranking and sign off and then students will return that copy to their advisory teacher the following week. This way you know what they are prioritizing and can have a conversation and adjust if needed. 

We feel it important that the child takes a leadership role in the decision making process as they will be the ones to be the courses the following year. The full course descriptions in English and Spanish for the 2025-2026 school year are located here - 7th grade in English & Spanish / 8th grade English & 8th grade Spanish.

Additionally, please take a moment to watch this Math Pathway (English) or Math Pathway (Spanish) video with your student, which will assist them in selecting the math pathway that best suits their needs. Your involvement is crucial, and we appreciate your support!

Thanks for your partnership to support informed student choice for their electives! If you have any questions please reach out to your child’s counselor:
