Course Registration

2023-24 Course Registration

In January 2023, we will begin the registration process of selecting middle school courses for the 2023-24 school year.  Students will receive registration information and support in class on January 6.   Parents and students should take the following steps to prepare for registration:

• Review and discuss course offerings listed in the 2023-24 Registration Guide on the right-hand side of this page.
• Watch the course videos to learn more about the courses on the right-hand side of this page.

If your child is not currently an ISD 624 student, you must complete the online enrollment process prior to registration.  Visit ISD 624's Enrollment website for information about how to enroll your child.

REGISTRATION PROCEDURES 

CLASS OF 2030 (Incoming 6th Grade)

On January 6, 2023, 5th grade teachers will share the official registration form and informational videos with their students. They will discuss registration materials, answer questions, and assist students with making their selections on the registration form.  All 5th grade students will bring the form home on January 6 so parents can review the elective selections (Band, Choir, Orchestra, General Music, and/or AVID) made by their child, sign the form, and return it to their child’s elementary teacher.  All registration forms should be returned to your child’s 5th grade teacher no later than January 17, 2023.  Informational videos about courses in each department are available on this web page.  Specialized courses for students who receive instruction/support through the special education and EL programs will be determined at spring IEP meetings.  Students or families needing additional assistance with the registration process are encouraged to contact their child’s 5th grade teacher or the CMS counseling office at 651-653-2881.  There will also be an online Q and A on January 5, 2023 from 6-7 p.m.

On January 6, 2023,  middle school science teachers will answer questions and assist students with the Synergy online registration process. Online registration will run from January 6, 2023 through January 17, 2023.   Parents are encouraged to review the elective selections made by their child by logging in to StudentVue with their child.  Informational videos about courses in each department are available on this web page.  Specialized courses for students who receive instruction/support through the special education and EL programs will be determined at spring IEP and parent/teacher meetings.  Students or families needing additional assistance with the registration process are encouraged to contact the CMS counseling office at 651-653-2881.
