Academic Release (rising 6th, 7th, 8th grade)
Academic data and performance records are used for placing students in the appropriate level of courses.  Because these placements are believed to be the ones that will provide students with the greatest opportunity for academic success, requests for changes should seriously be weighed by the parent/guardian.  However, if a parent/guardian feels that such a change needs to be considered, this academic override request must be completed.  For Rising 8th grade parents/guardians, recommendations for high school credit classes cannot be change even with an academic release.  The reason is that these are classes for which the high school is giving the credit, not the middle school.

Submission of this form does not guarantee a class change.  Requests will be reviewed by the grade level counselor and the grade level administrator.  The administrator will either approve the change or request a parent meeting to gather information and/or address concerns.

Please start by giving the parent/guardian email.
