Dear 7th Grade Parent/Guardian,
We are beginning the scheduling and registration process for the 2025-2026 school year. Families must complete course registration through the Parent Portal. The Parent Portal opens on March 20 and closes on March 28, 2025. Instructions for using the Portal can be found on the “Registration Worksheet” on the left sidebar.
Key Registration Steps on the Parent Portal:
Confirm Math Placement on the Parent Portal by March 28: View your child’s math recommendation in the Parent Portal. If you choose to override the teacher’s recommendation, please reach out to your child’s math teacher about the placement recommendation. See our Frequently Asked Questions and our Math Success Indicators for additional information. -
- Make a Grey Block Selection:
- Full-Year Music Elective (Band, Chorus, or String Orchestra): Students are guaranteed a spot in their selected program.
- Elective Rotation: Students will take a mix of electives, including one-quarter of Phys Ed. Preferences will be considered, but specific elective requests cannot be changed.
Additional Info about Courses for next year:
World Language: Students in Novice I French or Spanish will automatically continue to Novice II of their chosen language.
Exploratory, Phys Ed, and Health: Students will be enrolled in four Exploratory classes (Art, Digital Literacy, Drama, and Engineering) unless their schedule requires a different service during that period. Students will be automatically enrolled in a rotation of Phys Ed and Health classes.
Additional Services: Families of students in ASC, Reading, or Math Explorations will receive placement details directly from their teachers. IEP services will be scheduled later in the spring.
Team Placement: RJ Grey students will be assigned to one of seven teams, balancing factors such as math placement and World Language. Team placement requests cannot be accommodated. We understand that at times, there may be information that you'd like to share with us before the placement process begins. If that applies to your student, you may complete the online Family Information Form. This form must be completed by March 28, 2025.
If you have questions, please contact your child’s counselor: Ms. O’Brien (7 Gold/7 Red) or Ms. Van Vleck (7 Blue/7 Green).
Thank you for ensuring your child’s registration is completed by March 28, 2025.
Sincerely,
James Marcotte
Principal
