[quote=Anonymous]Hi all, we had to miss the Dorothy Hamm info night and are a bit lost as to next year from the limited information posted on the Hamm website.  Can anyone help?

They told us that kids will need to select classes in January.  The posted schedule shows two elective periods.  Do students just choose between band, chorus or orchestra?  Are there other options?

Is there another course selection for the other elective block?  When do they get to pick a language?

What intensified classes are being offered next year for 6th grade?  Do students get to ask to be in intensified classes or are they selected by APS? If selected by APS, what is the criteria for placement?

Is PE a full year course or does it alternate with Health?  Do they change into gym clothes for PE?

If students do a school sport (e.g., swim or track) is practice 5 days a week?  Are swim and track no cut or do they have to try out?  What about basketball?  Is there just one team or several teams by grade/skill?

What else did I miss that I should know about the jump to MS?

Thanks in advance.[/quote]
