Weekly Update - 3/4/24

Believe it or not, we are beginning to look at scheduling for next year already.  In looking at options for next year, we plan to offer a STEM course and advanced math in 6th grade, advanced math in 7th grade and incoming 8th graders will have options for advanced courses in math, science, ELA and social studies.  Additionally, all grade levels can choose to participate in band, orchestra and/or chorus.

In the coming days and weeks, students and parents will receive more information about these options for next year and will be asked to complete a Google Form to make those choices.  We will use this information in addition to various data and teacher recommendations to create schedules for next year.  With that said, we believe that students should challenge themselves academically, stay involved in our music programs and participate in extracurricular activities in order to build resiliency, social networks and a foundation of success.

As we navigate this process, please feel free to reach out to your student's counselor with any questions.  (Mrs. Winnicki (A-L) - winnicki@maryvaleufsd.org, Mrs. Shaver (M-Z) - shaver@maryvaleufsd.org)
