High School Elective

When your child goes off to middle school they will be required to take certain subjects. Most middle school students have to take English or language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies or history. But there are also elective classes that are available to many students.

Electives are classes that your student may choose to take that aren’t necessarily required. The electives your child’s school offers may differ from electives at other schools.

Allow your child to choose. You may have been in the band when you were in middle school, and maybe you hope that your child chooses band as their elective. While it’s important to stay involved in your child’s middle school experience, it’s also important to allow your child to make a few decisions on their own.
