8th Grade Registration

Last Thursday, 7th graders met in the auditorium for a presentation about elective class offerings for the 2014-15 school year.  Students received a yellow preprinted registration form for elections to be made.  The form needs to be signed by the student AND a parent/guardian in the spaces on the back of the form.

THESE FORMS ARE NOW DUE!  If you haven’t seen the form yet, please ask your student.  If it has been lost, please contact Mr. Tindall (tindalm@dearbornschools.org) for another copy.

If no form is returned, your student will not be able to select his/her own electives.  They will be registered last and will be placed in classes where there is space.

If you have questions or concerns regarding registration for next year, please contact the Stout office at 827-4800.
