Dear 4th Grade Parents,
The end of the school year is quickly approaching, and your 4th grade student is soon to be bridging up to the middle school! We are collecting elective preferences from our students at this time in order to schedule classes over the summer. For 5th grade, electives are largely determined by whether the student decides to take band. With the exception of band, all 5th grade electives are a quarter long. Students have two electives periods per day, each quarter. Students who do not elect to take band will be scheduled for all the other electives offered. If your student is not selecting band, no additional action is required and your student will be scheduled for the following electives:
- Art - Level 5 (one quarter)
- Keyboarding I (one quarter)
- Elementary French (one quarter)
- Elementary Spanish (one quarter)
- Chorus (one quarter)
- Health (one quarter)
- Physical Education (two quarters)
If your student selects band, which is a yearlong elective, that fills one of those elective periods each day and your student will only be scheduled for four of the other electives. To learn a little about band in 5th grade, check out this video made by LNC Band Director Mr. Scaringelli!
If your student is selecting band, we ask that you fill out this form, Rising 5th Grade Elective Selections, ranking your student’s other electives choices, by Friday, April 1. We will do our best to schedule your student for their top four choices, but cannot make any guarantees. Please consider your decision carefully before submitting the form as only ONE submission per student is allowed.
We are excited for your student to come to middle school next year!
Sincerely,
