Venado Middle School Two Year Planning Worksheet

7th Grade Class Descriptions

8th Grade Class Descriptions

This worksheet is designed to help you and your child begin to plan for middle school. Use the samples shown below to develop a plan for your child while attending Venado. Courses followed by an asterisk (*) are required for all students, and courses separated by a slash (/) are trimester classes. Please note that over the two year period, the specific classes shown in the sample programs may change based upon funding, staffing, or changes in district requirements.
Although you are planning for two years, you will be completing registration materials now for the 7th grade only. Eighth grade registration will occur at the end of the 7th grade. This will allow for changes in your plan should new interests or options arise. Use this planning worksheet to complete the registration card included in this packet.
