Although it is strongly discouraged for parents to override teacher recommendations, VBMS allows a parent to write a letter or email that will serve as permission to override teacher recommendations in course selection.
The completed registration forms are due back to the middle school in early January, and in March students will receive a Course Verification printout with the courses they are registered for-- this will be the LAST CHANCE to make changes to course selections.
Students will receive their final class schedules in August.
