3/8/2023 - Message about 2023-2024 6th grade class selection
from Chinook Middle School
Future Kodiak Families,
It is that time of year for students to register for classes for the upcoming school year. We are looking forward to having your students joining us at Chinook Middle School in the fall. Our first step in preparing for next school year is registration. It is important to note that we build our master schedule based on student course requests. The choices students and families make now will determine your student's 2023-2024 course schedule.
We encourage students and their families to have an honest and open conversation about their schedule and course load. All students should seek to challenge themselves academically through their course selections while also being mindful of having a healthy balance.
Student course requests help us determine how many classes are necessary for teacher staffing. Because of this, schedule changes are not made except under extraordinary circumstances. This year Chinook will not be collecting any paper request forms. All student requests will be submitted online via Synergy in Parent/Student Vue.
Chinook Staff will present in 5th grade classrooms the week of March 13th. Registration is due by Friday, March 31st Registration materials will be given to students in class on the day of their presentation. Materials are available on our website HERE.
