Electives

Middle School students have the ability to choose electives. Elective options may change each quarter. Electives run on an A/B schedule, meaning that they rotate every other day for a quarter.

During elective registration, students will register for two electives (one for A day, and one for B day). The registration process is online in the MySchoolBucks system on a seniority basis with eighth graders registering first, seventh registering second, and sixth graders last. All registrations are on a first come first served basis, so it is crucial that parents sign up when they are allowed.

Within the classes offered each quarter, there are more than enough spots for all middle school students. However, every class has a limit to the number of students per class. As you are registering, if the class is not showing in the list, that means it is full and you will need to select one of the open classes.

Several classes require pre-approval from the teacher, so please take that into consideration. These are noted in the Elective Handbook. Students who have been pre-approved for a class are the only ones who are able to register for that class in MySchoolBucks.

Q4 Registration Dates and Times

Registration for electives begins Monday, March 3rd.

Students will register and pay for electives through MySchoolBucks. Parents, please make sure you know your username and password prior to registration for these courses. (for login assistance, please see the Login Assistance at MySchoolBucks).

Each grade level will have 24 hours where only students in that grade can register for electives. We reserve a certain number of open spots in each elective class for each grade. This helps give everyone equal opportunity for classes. As in the past, 8th grade students will be able to register for electives first. Then 7th Grade and then 6th Grade. At the end of these grade-specific enrollment windows, there will be open registration for all students who did not register. Any elective classes that still have open spots will be available for anyone to select.

If a student does not register during their specified time period, they will be able to register during the open window for All Grades).

Electives are grouped by A and B Day categories. Unless otherwise noted, students will only select ONE A-Day elective and ONE B-Day elective in MySchoolBucks.

NOTE: Please do not select more than one course for each day. If you do, you will be removed from both courses and have to go back in and register with what is available at that time.
