2024-2025 Course Scheduling

GMS secondary students now have the opportunity to select their desired courses for the 2024-2025 academic year.  Students will need to make the course selections by using grade level google forms available below.  Students will also need to be logged into their school computer and use their student email to complete the forms.  All submissions for the course schedule request forms are due on Friday, May 10th.  Parents/guardians must partake in the course selection process.  This is a great opportunity to start having meaningful career conversations.  The  Grand Mountain School Course Descriptions are available for you and your student to review to help with the decision-making process.  Since there is limited seating, it is important for students to choose the most desired classes first.  Students who do not submit a Schedule Request form will have their schedule created by the secondary counseling team and may not be enrolled in their desired courses. 

All students are required to take core classes which include:  math, language arts, social studies, and science.  Students are offered four elective classes during a school year.  Electives are semester- and/or  year-long courses.  Year-long electives, such as orchestra, choir, band, and drama take two elective spots.  Students can take beginning choir and one instrument class (both are year-long courses) for an academic year.  However, students will not be able to take two instrument classes during the academic year unless authorized by the teacher and approved by the assistant principal or principal.  In addition, all students are required to take two computer science/coding classes per year.  If the spring data shows your child with a deficit in reading or math, they may be required to participate in a reading and/or math intervention class which will require a schedule change.   Students will not be able to repeat courses already completed.  

Applications for Publication & Design, KGMS News, Student Council must be completed before a student is enrolled in the class.   Applications are available below:

          Publication & Design (7th & 8th grade only)

          KGMS News (7th & 8th grade only)

          2D Advanced Art  (7th & 8th grade only)

Please understand the GMS secondary counseling team and administrators work hard to ensure students are able to participate in courses they have chosen.  Unfortunately, not all classes will be scheduled due to course scheduling conflicts, class and/or seating availability.  Students will have the opportunity to request a schedule change during the first two days of school.  Sixth grade students have until Wed., Aug. 14^th to submit the change request and 7^th and 8^th grade students have until Thurs., Aug. 15^th .  The Schedule Change Request forms will be available online at the start of the 2024-2025 academic year.   If you have questions or concerns, please complete this form and the secondary counseling team will contact you.
