Rancho Del Rey Course Selection – We hope your child enjoyed meeting their future middle school counselors today, Thursday, January, 30, 2025! Students were able to meet some of the staff and watched a wonderful presentation about life in middle school. You can view the entire presentation here: Incoming 7th Grade Orientation. If your child is scheduled to attend RDR, they should’ve received a handout from RDR to start the process of transitioning to middle school.
Here are the few steps needed as of now to prepare your student for RDR:
- To verify which middle school your child should attend, use Sweetwater Union’s school locator: https://betalocator.decisioninsite.com/?StudyID=193578. (If your child is scheduled to attend Eastlake Middle School, we will have a separate orientation on February 21st.)
- Visit Rancho Del Rey’s Counseling Office Website: https://rdmcounseling.weebly.com/7th-grade-course-selection.html. There, you may view a condensed version of the orientation and do a virtual tour of the school. The site also includes information about the electives your student may choose from and important dates for registration.
