An Important Message regarding your child's schedule next year...

For the 2016-2017 school year and beyond, all students will be required to take PE/Health each year at the middle school level. In addition to this state mandated requirement, if a student does not register to take a fine arts course, the student will be required to take a course in fine arts appreciation.  Furthermore, an occupational exploratory course and an introduction to foreign language is also being incorporated into each student's schedule.  Based upon these requirements, our Master Schedule is being modified to account for these necessary changes.  Your child will still have the opportunity to select enrichment courses based upon his/her interests.     

Please note that due to historically low enrollment in French classes, French will no longer be offered at Blythewood Middle School; however, 7th grade students that are currently enrolled during the 2015-16 school year will have the opportunity to register for 8th grade high school credit in French.  Spanish as a foreign language will continue to be offered for 7th and 8th grade students.  We are happy to announce the addition of a new enrichment class in Career and Technology Education (CATE).

Please bear with us as we finalize your child's enrichment selections with the new changes.  Schedules will be available in August at Charger Kick Off.  School counselors will be available during this time to answer questions.
