Clubs & Organizations

• 6th-grade students will now have access to participate in both the Elementary School Play and the Junior High Musical (formerly known as MS Musical).

• Team Approach: The successful team approach will continue for grades 7 & 8 and will now be extended to include grade 9. While the core of this approach will be similar to the previous 6-8 model, some refinements are being implemented to optimize student experience.
• Class Sizes (K-12): Class sizes across all grades (Kindergarten through 12th grade) will remain consistent with those of previous academic years.

• Report Card (6th Grade): 6th grade will follow the Elementary School report card schedule. However, grades for 6th grade will be reported on a numerical basis.
• Intramurals: Intramural programs will be available for both 6th grade and Elementary students (including 5th grade).

At this time, there are no specific updates regarding course offerings. Comprehensive information on course selections and curriculum will be provided in our **August update**.
