Rising 7th Grade Student Course Requests
Hello Rising 7th Grade Parents and Guardians,
We have lots of exciting information to share with you as your child transitions from 6th to 7th grade! At this time, most elementary schools have completed academic advising with your child and most students have completed their course selection for 7th grade.
Please review your child's course request in SIS ParentVue.
- Once you log into your SIS ParentVue, select “Course Request” in the left side bar. The screen has 2 parts: Selected Course Requests and Alternate Elective Requests. Click the blue arrow to the left of the Course Title to see the course description.
- Parents will need to have a SIS ParentVUE Account to view the Online Course Requests for their child. To create an account, the parent must contact their child’s elementary school to receive an activation code.
- Please note that this list is NOT a schedule, but a confirmation of the courses entered into the Student Information System.
- To make any changes to the courses and/or electives entered, please complete the Change Request Form or contact the RRMS counselor that is the liaison for your elementary school (contact info below).
Please note that SY23-24 staffing is based on students' course selections and that your child's selection represents a firm commitment.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Algebra 1HN - If your child is in Advanced Math in 6th grade, they will have Mathematics 7 Honors in their course request. This will not change until we know students have met the following 3 criteria: Successful completion of advanced 6th grade math, IAAT score at or above 91 and an SOL score 500 or above. We will communicate with families in June.
-
Music Courses - Students who have signed up for the music courses (Band, Orchestra and Chorus) will initially be placed in the Beginning level until auditions and placements have been completed. Please know that MS music directors will work with their ES counterparts and counselors to make the appropriate updates.
-
World Languages (high school credit bearing elective) - World Language courses are not required in Middle School. The courses are very rigorous and are ideal for students who have strong work habits. They must be on grade level or above for Reading and Math in order to be successful in class.
-
Academic Support Courses - Elective courses can be adjusted based on students' academic needs. Contact your child's current teacher(s) if you have a question regarding the support course recommendation.
