Course Requests

Course Request Information for 26-27 School Year

  • Beginning on Wednesday, March 2026 current 6th and 7th grade students will choose their elective requests for next school year.  Students will have access to their paper forms starting that day.   
    They will be due Tuesday, March 31 to their science teacher.

    Scheduling Process and Information
    PE is required by law each year of middle school. Sign the opt out on the paper course request form.

    • Students requesting High School Credit Spanish 1 must meet the following requirements
      • Students entering 7th grade must score a level 4 or 5 on the FAST PM 3 ELA test in 6th grade.
      • Students entering 8th grade must score a level 3, 4, or 5 on the FAST PM 3 ELA test in 7th grade.
      • If your student does not meet the above requirements but wishes to take the course, a parent override form must be submitted to Montfordschedules@leonschools.net.  

    •    If you submitted an application for Yearbook, Musical Theater (High School Credit), or 3D Art (High School Credit), you still need to select the elective as one of your 4 choices.  


    Students are automatically enrolled in the next year's course progression at their current level.  If they are in general, advanced, or gifted courses this year - they are automatically placed in general, advanced, or gifted courses next year. The classroom teacher will contact you if they feel your student needs a change in placement for the next school year.  You will not be contacted if your student is not being recommended for a placement change. 

    If for any reason you want your student to enroll in core classes that are different than what is recommended, please fill out a Parent Override Form. That email address won’t be monitored until May 15 for schedule changes. Email override form to montfordschedules@leonschools.net

    Student Schedules Mailed

    • Student Schedules (Courses Only, No Teachers Assigned at this time) will be mailed out to students during the first week in July (tentative), along with a letter detailing the schedule change process. 

    Schedule Change Process

    • Students will have 2 weeks during June/July (dates TBD) to email schedule change requests to Montfordschedules@leonschools.net  
    • All efforts will be made to accommodate course change requests, however are not guaranteed.  
    • Teacher or Period Requests will NOT be accommodated. 

  • Incoming 6th graders complete a paper-based course request form. Each year, the paper form is provided to the elementary schools and there is a designated window to complete and turn them back in. 5th Grade Teachers determine placement for the core classes while parents and students can choose their electives (and alternates). Parents can override a teacher's recommendation by completing a Parent Override Form. Dates for the course request window are communicated via Montford's listserv, website and social media pages, and forwarded to each elementary school's 5th grade team leaders. Montford Administration will be visiting our feeders schools this spring. 

    All forms will be due to the elementary school by April 24th. 

  • Each high school has their own course request process. As Montford Middle School receives information from the high school, we push that information through our listserv and announcements to students
