8th Grade Mustangs
You made it! It is so hard to believe you will be an 8th grader next year. We are so excited to have this final year of Middle School with you.
This newsletter will provide all the information needed to complete the enrollment process from next year's courses. In 8th grade, your course options begin to provide opportunities to earn high school credit as well as prepare you with foundational skills for high school courses. Many of the advanced courses in 8th grade have student prerequisites and teacher recommendations before you can enroll in those classes. So, it is important that as we approach the end of 7th-grade that you finish strong, focus on performing well on the final Spring Benchmarks, and performing your best on state tests in English and Math.
Please look through this information and be sure to complete the enrollment google form with your family! If you have questions or concerns, please contact our school counseling office.
We are Cheyenne!
We are Mustangs!
