There will be three "challenge" tests offered this year. One on May 18th for current 6/7th MMS students and two dates for current 5th graders, May 25th and June 1st all tests begin at 2:00 pm.    

Unfortunatley, no. We do not offer 7/8 PE during zero period due to staffing issues and therefore you only have room for one elective in your six period day. [Core (2), Math, Science, PE and a elective]  

Typically, 85% of students get the courses they request. We are limited somewhat by the number of classrooms for specialized courses (such as Art, Woodshop, Etc.) and we have a maximum number of students we can fit into a course, therefore some students may receive their alternate. It is very important that you list both of your alternates in case we need to modify your schedule. If you do not list alternates we will place you in courses we have available.

We hire staff and build our schedule based on the courses you requested, therefore, we may not be able to accommodate changes in elective requests.  If you change your mind about an elective before May 20th, log back in and make your change, you must indicate your new choice. You may not change your course selections after the window closes.

You will receive your schedule for the next school year in August during "walk-through".
