ADMINISTRATION
Mr. David Law
Superintendent
This registration guide is helpful in
outlining the broad range of required
and elective courses available to you. As you review it, I encour-
age you to select new or challenging courses as your electives.
There may be something that really didn’t pique your interest
at first glance, but after giving it a try you find it enjoyable. Tak-
ing a variety of courses will also help you explore career paths;
there could never be a better time in your life to be doing this. Dr. Eric Melbye
Associate Superintendent,
Middle Schools and Student Services
Talk your course choices over with your family and ask your
teachers for advice. You can also speak with your school
counselor. Your middle school has dedicated staff who are
happy to help you find the courses that are right for you. Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment

It may seem that adulthood is a long way off, but your school
years will go by quickly and you need to make the most of this
time. Work hard, but also remember to have fun trying the many
opportunities available to you. I wish you great success in your
remaining school years and far beyond.
Sincerely,
