Dear Parents/Guardians:
On December 19, 2023, our Board of Education approved the 2024-2025 Program of Studies, which lists and summarizes course offerings available to Montville Township High School students. This document is now published on the MTHS website. Students and parents/guardians can access the Program of Studies by utilizing the shortcut links on the MTHS website or by CLICKING HERE.
It is highly recommended that families utilize the Program of Studies, as they prepare for the course selection process for the upcoming school year.
Please review elective options with your child to provide the counselor with 6-8 electives of interest in priority order. Students are encouraged to discuss course options with their teachers, counselor and case manager, when applicable, to better prepare to select courses. It is important to make sure your child has the necessary pre-requisites for any of the courses they are selecting. Unfortunately, elective preferences are not guaranteed, but we will do our best to honor the requests.
Some highlights of our Program of Studies include:
- Montville Township High School graduation requirements: Page 5
- State standardized testing requirements for graduation for the Class of 2024 and beyond: Pages 6 -7
- Course Offerings for 2024 – 2025: Page 17
- Grade 9 Elective Options: Page 46, Grade 11-12 Elective Options: Page 47
- Our Band and Orchestra classes are scheduled full ensemble periods. Additionally, enrollment in either class will include a small group lesson program with a weekly supplemental period focused on more individualized instruction.
During the months of February and March, your child will meet with his or her school counselor to make course requests for next year. As this process unfolds, you will receive additional notification through email, Schoology, and the MTHS and Lazar school websites. You and your child will also have the ability to view course recommendations and requests through Parent Access in the near future.
Parents/Guardians of incoming freshmen will be receiving a letter later in the month with additional information regarding your course selection meeting with your child and his/her counselor.
Our school counselors look forward to meeting with your child(ren) in the coming months to plan and prepare for next year.
Sincerely,
Douglas Sanford Leslee J. Scheckman
MTHS Principal Director of School Counseling K-12
