Seventh Grade

Before you know it, your sixth grade year will come to an end, summer vacation will come and go, and you will be back to school as a seventh grader. And because it will be here faster than you think, we have already begun to plan for your seventh grade year. An important first step in planning is to determine which courses are appropriate for you. We will be evaluating your performance on district and state tests to determine which English language arts and mathematics courses will serve you best. That is one reason why it is important that you always do your best; not only on classroom tests, but also on district and state tests such as the M-STEP.

While most of the courses you’ll take next year are required, you will be able to choose some courses of interest (such as art, music, and Spanish). However, if your test results indicate that you need some support with your reading and math skills, you will be required to take extended learning courses before you can take electives.
