[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your child should start to have visits from MS Counselors soon, I don’t remember the exact time period. They will choose electives in January and you will have opportunities to adjust them up to the summer. One friend of DS has changed his first semester elective twice so there is some wiggle room in the schedule once school starts.

I will warn that Band and Orchestra at some schools are very time intensive after school if you want to attend the field trip at the end of the school year. Orchestra had somewhere around 10 after school commitments and band had 25. There was a contract sent home to parents that they needed to sign that the student would not miss anything unless sick. I know a bunch of kids who swapped out of band as soon as that went home. I do think the extra only influenced the ability to attend the field trip but it seemed very intense for MS Band and Orchestra. [/quote]

Must be school dependent. Our MS orchestras went to Hershey Park and there were no after school rehearsals because they didn’t perform, just had a fun day at the park. [/quote]
