Wow, guess I belong in this thread too my youngest is a freshman. Our district has 6/7 and 8/9 middle schools with 10-12 high schools. The 9th graders are included in the high school marching band, show choirs, sports etc as warranted. I like having them in a separate building for an extra year.
We are a week and a half into the semester already and 7:00 am marching band rehearsals 4 days a week are the biggest hurdle so far.
8 class periods a day so:
English 9 (all take the same class)
Honors Earth Science (all 9th graders take Earth Science in some form)
Honors Geometry (most kids are in algebra I, some in geometry, and a few in Algebra II)
Social Studies 9 (all take the same class)
French II (languages start in 8th grade, so they get 5 years if they want, choice of French, Spanish or Chinese)
Band (March in the fall with the high school kids, then 9th only concert band)
Chorus (9th grade girls only, separate choirs for boys and girls in middle school 6th-9th)
PE/Health (each one is every other day, they take health all 4 years of middle school and then are done with health)
Add in Show Choir rehearsal 2 nights a week, dance classes and/or teaching at the studio 4 nights a week and she's a busy girl.
