Dear Parents and Students,

The American United School Middle School Course Guide has been designed to provide our students and parents with helpful information regarding the courses and elective choices offered at AUS middle school.

The AUS Counseling Department has an understanding of your student’s abilities and interests and will offer suggestions and advice based on those abilities. Although teachers can be valuable resources concerning courses and their recommendations, it is extremely important that your student make individual choices for his/her schedule. These are very important decisions in which students must have input, as schedule changes will be minimal.

Please review the courses on the following pages with your student. AUS desires to offer every course described in the course guide; however, staffing, and class sizes will determine course availability and offerings.

After 10 days in the first quarter the only schedule request changes that will be made are for new students or changes related to accelerated placement. Changes made after the opening of the school year will be made for equalizing teacher’s loads, for administrative purposes, or for correcting errors and in accordance with the schedule change process in the Course Guide. Please make selections carefully.

It is our desire that your student has appropriate opportunities to select elective courses that are exciting and relevant to your middle school student. If you have any questions regarding particular courses and/or the course selection processes and scheduling, please call the counseling office.

We look forward to working with you and your student in preparing for a successful upcoming school year.
