RMS Support Courses
Some students may have a pre-selected support class chosen for them by teacher recommendation based on student performance data. The support courses are full year courses. Support courses are scheduled as a higher priority over elective courses, and enrollment in one support class will replace one elective class. Students with an IEP may be selected to participate in self-contained interventions as determined by the IEP.
Contact the grade level counselor if you have any questions regarding support courses.
