6th Grade Electives

Our junior high academic program consists of six core classes. In addition to these daily classes, students have an opportunity to take two elective classes per trimester. We have made every effort to provide a wide variety of high interest classes in our junior high elective program. We have also included some required elements in the elective program to ensure that our students are well equipped to meet with success both here at Foothill and as they prepare to enter high school. Please read through the form below and fill it out carefully with your child; then submit it electronically by hitting the SUBMIT button at the bottom of the page. Be sure that you have included the student’s name at the top of the form. Every effort will be made to ensure that they have an opportunity to take classes of high interest to them.
