Students will receive information about all required and elective courses that are available to them for the next school year. Beginning February 5, 2024, students are expected to make informed choices about courses that will best meet their educational needs. There are different formats for the core courses from which to choose:
• Academic - on grade level and designed to prepare students for high school and college
• KAP (Katy Advanced Placement) - prepare students for Advanced Placement courses (college level instruction) while in high school
• KAP/G/T (Gifted and Talented) - placement requires the student to have met specific KISD screening criteria and have been accepted into the G/T program
On the 5th Grade Course Selection Worksheet, your child will request the following courses: English/Language Arts Block, Math, Social Studies, Science, P.E., and list your top four elective choices in order of preference. Students identified as gifted may opt for a class designated as GT.
