7th Grade Course Selection Night: Thursday, February 6th, 2025!
At Course Selection Night you will have the opportunity to walk around the school, meet the principal & assistant principals, some teachers, and school counselors, and have questions answered, as well as enter your selections into Skyward in our labs.
This year you may choose to either complete your course selection in one of our labs at the school, where helpers will be available to answer questions during Course Selection Night –or- you may choose to make your selection from home in Skyward.
Course Selections for 7th grade classes will be open in Skyward beginning Monday, February 3rd through Sunday, February 9th.
IMPORTANT: You MUST turn in a copy of your Course Selection sheet after you have entered your selections in Skyward. You can do that at the school or by emailing it to elkridgerecords-uc@jordandistrict.org
Details on how to choose your course selections can be found at elkridge.jordandistrict.org/course-selection

HOW TO PREPARE FOR COURSE SELECTION:
- You must know how to login to Skyward. https://jordandistrict.org/resources/gradebook/
- You will need your student Skyward login and password. If you do not know it, please contact your school prior to Course Selection Night.
- Look over the offered courses on the front and back of the enclosed 7th Grade Course Request sheet and mark your choices. You will use this paper as a guide as you input the course numbers in Skyward. You can print more copies of the Course Selection card from our website, if needed. Remember to email or drop off your paper copy to the school!
- If your student will be new to Jordan School District or new to Elk Ridge Middle School boundaries a parent/guardian must complete forms and upload documentation at https://planning.jordandistrict.org/enrollment/ and be accepted through the school prior to being able to make course selections.This must be done in advance and will not be available to do on Course Selection Night.
- REQUIRED IMMUNIZATIONS – prior to attending 7th grade, all incoming students are required to provide an updated copy of their immunizations records showing they are current on all immunizations, including the “7th Grade shots” of TDAP and MCV. For those claiming exemption: a new exemption waiver is required after age 10. (Please see enclosed flier for more info). You can drop it at the school or email it to elkridgerecords-uc@jordandistrict.org
Please share this information with your neighbors who you know are planning to attend Elk Ridge.
If you have any questions, we can be reached by email and phone (see below). We look forward to helping in the transition from elementary to middle school!
