Riverglen Junior High School

Welcome to Riverglen Junior High Registration!

Transitioning to junior high is an exciting milestone for your student. Registration is the official process of enrolling your child for the upcoming school year and, most excitingly, choosing their classes! Unlike elementary school, where students typically stay in one classroom, junior high offers a departmentalized schedule. This means your student will move to different classrooms for different subjects and get to help shape their own daily schedule.

What is "Course Selection"?

During registration, you and your student will review our curriculum guide to select their classes. The schedule will be made up of two types of courses:

Core Classes (Required): These are the foundational subjects every student must take, including English/Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies. Placement in some core classes (like advanced math) may be based on teacher recommendations or test scores.
Elective Classes (Your Choice!): This is where junior high gets fun. Students can choose from a variety of elective courses based on their personal interests. Depending on availability, choices may include:
- Creative Arts: Band, Orchestra, Choir, Art, or Drama.
- World Languages: Introductory Spanish,or French
- Life Skills: Family and Consumer Sciences (FACS)
- STEM/ TECH: Engineering Technology Education

How the Process Works

Review the Options: Look through our online Course Catalog together to read descriptions of the available electives.
Fill Out the Selection Form: Complete the registration form. You will be asked to rank your student’s elective preferences. (Note: While we do our best to give every student their top choices, electives are subject to availability, so listing alternative choices is important!)
Submit & Verify: Ensure all information is correct and turn in form to teacher/counselor.
