• Course Request Information for 25-26 School Year

    Current 6th and 7th graders (Next year's 7th and 8th graders)

    Beginning on Friday, April 12th, 2024 current 6th and 7th grade students will have four days to submit their elective requests for next school year.  Students will have access to the elective course selection form through their Canvas Homeroom page.  There are four identical questions on the elective selection form. Each question has ALL of our elective choices/combinations that we offer.  This allows students to submit their top 4 choices in order. 
    Students will have access to the form beginning at 6:00pm April 12th, through midnight on April 15th.  Students will only have access to the form by logging in through Canvas, and will only be able to submit one form.   Once the form has been submitted they will not be able to access the form again, so please review carefully before hitting submit.

    2025-2026 Core Classes 
    Students are automatically enrolled in the next year's course progression at their current level.  If they are in general, advanced, or gifted courses this year - they are automatically placed in general, advanced, or gifted courses next year. The classroom teacher will contact you if they feel your student needs a change in placement for the next school year.  You will not be contacted if your student is not being recommended for a placement change.

    Current 5th graders (incoming 6th graders)

    Incoming 6th graders complete a paper-based course request form. Each year, the paper form is provided to the elementary schools and there is a designated window to complete and turn them back in. 5th Grade Teachers determine placement for the core classes while parents and students can choose their electives (and alternates). Parents can override a teacher's recommendation by completing a Parent Override Form. Dates for the course request window are communicated via Montford's listserv, website and social media pages, and forwarded to each elementary school's 5th grade team leaders. Montford Administration will be visiting our feeders schools by April 19th. 

    All forms will be due to the elementary school by Friday, May 3rd.

    Current 8th Graders (Next Year's 9th Graders)

    Each high school has their own course request process. As Montford Middle School receives information from the high school, we push that information through our listserv and announcements to students.
