Colts Chronicle

All course registration for Legend is due into Infinite Campus by February 16th. High School Counselors will be at Cimarron next week to talk with students about courses for next year.

Blow the dust off that bin in the garage labeled “snow gear.” Grab those last-season (or 10 seasons ago) jackets, pants, and boots and get them ready for their next adventure!

PE classes at Cimarron want to use our outdoor spaces more consistently and incorporate outdoor winter activities into our curriculum. We need to gather a class set of warm clothes and boots of various sizes that we can loan out to students that are not properly dressed for these outdoor activities. If you have some lightly used winter gear that you would like to donate, please drop them at the front office.

Students will receive their elective forms next week

7th grade on February 13
6th grade on February 16

Please look over the elective form (linked down below) with your student and help them request their electives for next year.

• Choose carefully as there are NO schedule changes

• It is unlikely you will get all your first choices, so choose alternates carefully and in order of priority

• Requesting both semester Choir classes in your top choices could give you a year of choir. If you only want choir for one semester, only choose one choir class as a top choice

• Form MUST be filled out completely and have at least 8 separate electives listed, in order of priority (1-8). If the required number of choices is not provided, students may be scheduled in ANY available class

• Prior experience is required to sign up for Band, Orchestra and Spanish 1B & II

• Students in Dimensions of Literacy will be automatically assigned, if the class is required, and will take the place of one elective period

• E-Media & Yearbook require an application and will only be assigned if the student is selected for the class. Please make sure you complete and turn in the separate application to be considered for these classes. Forms are available in the Counseling Office.

Please visit Important Forms & Links for the 23-24 Course Guides.

ALL elective forms are due back to your student’s Social Studies teacher by Thursday, February 23.
