OMS 8th Grade Course Enrollment Form 2023-24

Welcome!

OMS has an 8-period school day. Required classes fill 5 ½ of the eight periods.
Required classes: Science, History, English, Math, Health (2 quarters every day), Tech Ed (2 quarters every day), PE - "Team Activities" OR "Lifetime Fitness" (full year – every other day).

Classes of choice (World Language, Music, Art, STEAM) fill 2-½ periods. Students may select up to four (4) "choice" classes.  Remaining period(s) will be filled with a study hall.

Notes:
  • We are unable to honor team/teacher placement requests and students placed with friends.
  • If a student is enrolled in two every-other-day music/elective classes and chooses to drop an elective, the remaining music class will switch to everyday – not a study hall.
  • Students enrolled in two every-other-day music classes and choose to drop one; will then have the other class everyday - not a study hall.

If you have any questions, please contact Jan Neumann at 835-4810 or jmneumann@oregonsd.net.

You are encouraged to review course descriptions and options below before making your selections.  Additionally, you may notice students have the choice of English 8 or Enriched English 8.  Please read the course descriptions and talk with your student to make the selection you believe to be the best fit.  After course selections are in, there will be a review of data and an interview process component.  

English Language Arts (ELA):

Students in grade 8 will continue to develop reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills.  Preparation and participation is utilized for small group and class discussions.   Overall, students will be able to read and comprehend a variety of complex literacy and informational texts for many purposes (including enjoyment), including texts that reflect one’s experiences and experiences of others.  This includes independently and proficiently understanding grade-level text.

English 8 Course Description:

Throughout the year, we focus on evaluating information, thinking critically, and using and citing evidence.  Students will engage with a variety of texts, including short stories, infographics, nonfiction articles, investigative journalism pieces, poems, and novels.  Students will design and conduct research projects based on real world issues and their interests.   Students will engage in writing for a variety of purposes and will pay  attention to audience, information, and grammar.  This curriculum is designed to help students increase their confidence in critical thinking by supporting their inferences using evidence.

Enriched English 8 Course Description:

Throughout the year, we focus on evaluating information, thinking critically, and using and citing evidence.  Students will engage with a variety of texts, including short stories, infographics, nonfiction articles, investigative journalism pieces, poems, and novels.  Students will design and conduct research projects based on real world issues and their interests.  Students will engage in writing for a variety of purposes and will pay  attention to audience, information, and grammar.   This curriculum is designed to help students increase their confidence in critical thinking by supporting their inferences using evidence.

Because this is an Enriched English course, there will be additional required reading  and more active engagement in the writing process.  The curriculum often moves at a faster pace, and there is an increased level of independence expected.

Selecting this option does not ensure placement in the class.  All interested students will take part in interviews the week of February 27th.  Student interviews and a data review will be used to make final decisions regarding student placement.  Confirmation letters will be sent to families the week of March 6.
