All students will take Health and Physical Education for one semester, each year of Middle School.
In addition to Health/PE, 8th grade students take 2/3 electives per school year. Most electives are year long, including Band, with very few exceptions (please see the Rising 8th grade Elective Registration Form below).
Please note: students are expected to remain in the year-long electives for the entire duration of the school year.
