Core Courses – Rising sixth grade students will be placed in their four core courses and any support services that are received (IEP, 504, ESL). These courses include 6^th grade English/Language Arts (ELA), Social Studies, Science, and Math. Initial math placements are made based on the most recent EOG (ex: for rising 6^th graders, this will be the 4^th Grade EOG since they have not yet taken the 5^th Grade EOG). At the end of the school year, any current EOG scores and final course grades may be reviewed to determine if a change in placement is necessary. Students will be placed in either 6^th Grade Math OR Math 6 Plus. Your child’s math course placement is listed below. Math placement guidelines can be found at www.wcpss.net/msmath. Compacted Math is not a placement or waiver option during the Registration process. This decision can only be made by the Middle School.  

Math Placement Waivers (optional) – If you wish to submit a waiver for your child to take a math course, higher or lower than they are recommended to take, you must submit a 2022-2023 Middle School Math Placement Parent Waiver Form to Mrs. Miller by Tuesday, March 31^st. These forms may be found on the Lacy Website. Advanced math placement (formerly compacted) will be selected based on EOG data. We do not accept waivers for Advanced Math. However, if a parent wishes to waive up to 6 Plus, they can certainly do so.

Elective Courses – Your child will be able to select elective courses. These courses are not required subject areas like ELA and Math, but instead are optional courses that may be of interest to your child. Elective options and descriptions can be found on www.wcpss.net/rising6th by selecting the assigned middle school. An elective worksheet is included for you and your child to complete to prepare for online registration at school. Mrs. Beck and school staff will work with students in small groups using their completed elective worksheets to register in Powerschools.
