***Schedule changes cannot be made to accommodate friend, lunch, period, or teacher preferences***
We have staffed our school based on the class requests your students made during our Pre-Registration meetings in January of each year. There is limited mobility for students to change classes that were not requested.
With schedule changes our main priority will be to resolve conflicts and placement errors in student schedules.
(For example: if a student is missing a required class in their schedule or if their teacher assignment for a specific class does not remain the same from semester to semester).
Schedule changes are only available during the schedule change window
Semester 1: August 19th 2026 - August 31st 2026
Semester 2: TBD 2027 - TBD 2027
We will allow schedule changes for elective classes only. Changes must be made in the schedule change window and cannot change based on teacher, period, or lunch preferences, or to be in a class with friends.
All students wanting to request a change will need to meet with their counselor to quickly discuss the schedule change. Counselors will be available during lunch (in the lunchroom) to meet with students.
Counselor Meetings Semester 1: August 19th to August 25th, 2026.
Counselor Meetings Semester 2: TBD 2027
If the request is appropriate counselors will provide students with a Schedule Change Request Form. In order for the change to be made official the form will need to be signed by their parent/guardian and returned to Student Services before the due date:
Semester 1 deadline: Thursday, August 27th, 2026 @ 3:30pm
Semester 2 deadline: TBD, 2027 @ 3:30pm
Schedule change requests are not guaranteed. If a change is made it may influence several classes in your schedule including lunch, and likely cannot be changed back. Please consider all aspects of a schedule before making a request.
Any changes to schedules will be completed in Skyward by the end of the day listed below. You will be notified if a change can or cannot be made. Please be patient and do not complete multiple requests.
Semester 1 changes completed: Monday, August 31st, 2026 @ 3:30pm
Semester 2 changes completed: TBD @ 3:30pm
After the deadline and the schedule change window closes all changes will be considered on a case-by-case basis pending a meeting with the student, parent/guardian, teacher, and administration. Teacher or Schedule Change request form below will be required after the schedule change window closes.
**Schedule changes cannot be made to accommodate friends, lunch, or teacher preferences**

Thank you Reality Town Volunteers!
On Thursday April 9th, 2026 MCMS 9th graders participated in a successful and fun Reality Town.
Thank you so much to all the wonderful volunteers who came help run booths! We couldn't have done it without you!
What is Reality Town? Reality Town is a 9th grade program that teaches our students that grades/decisions count in "real life". Your student will apply for a job based on their GPA. They will receive a month's "salary" and have the opportunity to pay the bills and try to balance the lifestyle they want to have. It is a lot of fun, and a great learning experience.
Our fantastic Math teacher Mrs. Jensen shares insight about our Accelerated Math Program:
"Traditionally, Jordan School District has had 7th graders who are advanced in math skip 7th grade math and go directly into 8th honors. However, data shows that when students skip 7th grade math, they end up with some holes in their math understanding when they reach higher grades. For example, 7th grade math really delves into proportional relationships, and students who skip 7th grade math lack a deep understanding of proportions, which can impact their math learning later.
At our school, we chose to implement a new model which allows students to accelerate in math without skipping any math standards. Here (below) is an image which illustrates our model compared to Jordan District's model for acceleration. As you can see, in both models students end up one year ahead in math, taking Secondary 2 in 9th grade instead of 10th grade. However, in our model, students do not miss the 7th grade math standards and therefore have a more complete math education.
Because we are learning all of the 7th grade math standards and half of the 8th grade math standards in one school year, we move at a very fast pace. Even with our fast pace, last year 94% of my accelerated students achieved proficiency on the RISE math test! I feel very confident that this is a more complete way to accelerate in math. Data shows that students in this type of program achieve greater long-term success.
I believe we are the only school in Jordan District which follows this new model. (We are a new school, so we had the flexibility to implement a new program which follows the data, rather than just doing what's always been done). Jordan District's placement test assumes the traditional model because that's what most schools in the district are doing. If you have any further questions, please let me know" - Mrs. Jensen (kristi.jensen@jordandistrict.org)
