Parents, teachers and counselors will assist students in determining the proper courses for the 2011-2012 school year. The registration process should involve many individuals, not just the student. Lawton Chiles Middle School offers a wide variety of academic and elective courses. Every effort will be made to grant each student his/her first choice of an elective; however, due to the constraints of the master schedule, the second or third choice may be utilized. Additionally, every middle school student must take at least one semester of physical education. Counselors will be meeting with all students to discuss the course offerings and academic requirements. If you have any questions regarding the registration process, please call your child’s counselor. We look forward to your continued support in helping us make your child’s educational program the best one possible.
