Please contact Miss Rieger if you would like additional information. This is a time when parents often are as nervous and apprehensive as their entering students. Hopefully, through this letter and the student orientation planned for Wednesday, August 29, I can answer some questions and help set you at ease as you approach this exciting stage of your student's life. An item of keen interest is the academic schedule for your son or daughter. Miss Rieger, our junior high school guidance counselor, has invested a great deal of time examining and gathering information in order to place your son or daughter in classes that best meet his or her needs and abilities.
All seventh graders take subjects prescribed by the State of New York.
The basic seventh grade schedule consists of English, Social Studies, Science, Mathematics, Technology, Home and Career Skills, Music, Art, Health, Physical Education, and a Foreign Language. This program is ambitious causing study halls to be at a minimum in the schedule, ranging from 0 to 3 per week. Should you have questions, you may call Miss Rieger after August 20. Urgent questions may be addressed by calling the school office during regular business hours. Not far behind class schedule in interest, is the availability of extra-curricular activities.
