Please see important message from Mr. Wetherington for CURRENT 6th and 7th grade SCMS students RISING to 7th and 8th grade in 22-23.
Parents/Guardians,
It's that time of year for your rising 7th and 8th grader to choose elective options for next school year. In the interest of efficiency we have simplified the process this year. All students will receive a message from Mr. Wetherington in their school email with a link to a Google Forms survey. Students need to discuss with you what their best options are and submit the survey with their choices. It is a simple survey in which students just choose one elective per question that indicates its priority rank. If you need further explanation of what courses are you may visit https://www.leonschools.net/domain/1259<https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.leonschools.net%2Fdomain%2F1259&data=04%7C01%7C%7C5b5118025b31457648a908da199f7ce3%7C69292adba72a4537aa24d67a6f5642bc%7C0%7C0%7C637850470039745130%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=%2FHgG56ewb3k%2BsBhAxZUD7B3XuQZczug7hxvFL%2FDent4%3D&reserved=0>
