scheduling electives for 2023-24 school year
Foreign language, all arts disciplines (including TAM, TAV and TAT), physical education/health, and PLTW/engineering are also offered in the middle school during an exploratory/elective period each day.
Students who are in the Talented programs (TAT, TAV, TAM) must be scheduled for the appropriate talented class first, and then will have electives/exploratory classes for any open slots. Students must have an IEP to be scheduled for Talented classes. TAM, TAT, and TAV services are provided within the designated art class.
Students were given copies of the scheduling planning sheets. Copies are linked below.
The Course Request Google Form was emailed to parents and guardians on Friday, April 27th. If you did not receive the Google Form or need assistance, please email Mrs. Sepanik at elizabeth_sepanik@willowschoolnola.org.

On Sunday, April 30th, several of our middle school students played on the Congo Square stage at Jazz Fest with Shamarr Allen. It was a truly wonderful performance. The kids worked so hard on their performance with our Symphonic Band Director Mr. Keith Hart. We are so proud of them!
