ISMS Electives Request (2019 - 2020)

Hello 2019-20 Viking Families!

This form allows ISMS students the opportunity to request their electives for the 2019-20 school year. All students will be able to indicate their 1st, 2nd, 3rd choice, and 4th (7th/8th only) choices. Every effort will be made to give students their primary selections; however, that may not be possible due to scheduling conflicts, course availability, and/or contractual obligations. Students may be placed in support classes based on need, as determined by assessment data, individualized educational plans (if any), and classroom teacher feedback.
