Rising 9th Grade Registration
Hello Rising 9th Grade Students and Parents:
This website has been designed to help support current WMS 8th grade students during the high school registration process for the 2021/2022 school year. Mr. Bloor (dbloor@k12albemarle.org) will begin meeting with students and their families in January 2021 to assist with the course selection process and answer questions about high school. However, please contact me at anytime throughout this process. It is important that you and/or your student have a smooth and enjoyable transition to high school.
We invite you to explore the Monticello High School website to learn more about the school and programs offered. In addition, the Virginia Department of Education Graduation Requirements FAQ website has lots of information about graduation requirements for those of you who are sending a child to high school for the first time.
