Scheduling and Schedule Changes

Connections

All 6th, 7th and 8th grade students take rotating Connections classes, unless they are enrolled in Band and/or Chorus. Band and Chorus are year long courses where the other Connections classes are 9 weeks, or one quarter of a school year long. Connections courses include: Agriculture, Career Awareness, Business and Computer Science, General Music, Broadcasting, Health/PE, Art, Drama and Weight Training. In 6th grade, Weight Training is taken by all students, but in 7th and 8th, it is taken only by athletes that are interested.


Schedule Changes

Schedule changes are only permitted when students are misplaced in courses. Connections class changes are not permitted, with the exception of adding or dropping Band or Chorus. In those instances where students wish to add or drop Band or Chorus, the request must be made within the first week of each 9 week section and the student must provide a note from their parent/guardian.
