Students in the Modern Media and Communications Magnet have predetermined electives:

7th grade: Speech
8th grade: Video Production

For other students, not all electives are offered in any given year. Most electives are limited by grade level. The counselors try to accommodate each student's preferences, although not everyone can have their first choice.

Before school starts in the Fall, certain students can submit the Elective Preference Form for their next grade level.

For the 2021-2022 school year:

Students going into 7th or 8th grade in the neighborhood school, Honors program, SAS program, or the Gifted/High Ability Magnet should submit an Elective Form between Friday, March 19 and Friday, April 9, 2021.
Students going into 6th grade in the neighborhood school, Honors program, SAS program, or the Gifted/High Ability Magnet will hear from their counselor about electives..
Students in the Modern Media and Communication Magnet have automatic electives. They do not need to submit an elective form.

Using the Elective Preference Form:

You can view the form as many times as you want while you are considering your electives, but submit the form only once per student.
If you don't select your elective, one will be chosen for you.
You can indicate your 1st choice of elective, your 2nd choice, and your 3rd choice. You may not get your preferred choice.
Electives are year-long classes.
Some electives need teacher approval, an application, or an audition.
Make sure that all information is correct before you submit the form. You must provide your 10-digit District ID, which starts with your birth date and a letter. It is not the SSID that you use for testing.
