They also rotate between two elective choices. Class assignments will be determined by the enrollment, availability of personnel, and funding. The requests of every student will be honored to the greatest extent possible. However, we may not be able to provide every student with his or her exact request in every instance. Substitutions may be made in the area of electives and primarily in the area of foreign language.
Foreign language is a nine-week exploratory.
If students do not continue with the language they began to learn in the elementary schools, they will have another opportunity to begin early study in grade seven when they can elect to take a semester. Course credit for a yearlong course of the language of choice is available in the eighth grade. If a student elects to take strings or band these are full year courses and will not allow time for electives other than the required foreign language elective. Students will be given homework in all subjects to be completed at home. As a general guide, the nightly time for homework should not exceed 90 minutes and often will be of shorter duration.
