7th Grade Specialized Encore Classes Selection THIS Week (Mayes) All 7th grade students will have an opportunity to request to take a specialized encore class in place of a regular encore class for the 2019-2020 school year. Students will select these online through a Google Form. Parents should talk with their child about which course may be the best fit for them. Parents & students will be notified of their selection prior to the end of the school year. Courses will run if there is enough student interest and ability to schedule in the master schedule. Parents can see the survey at the link: https://bit.ly/2WArT3g
