7th Grade Immunization Requirement

If your child already received this immunization, please bring in their immunization record.  Now is a great time to make an appointment with the pediatrician before the summer begins.  You can also go to the local health department and receive the immunization for free.  See location below.

Middle School Course Requirements

According to the State of Florida rules, middle school students must successfully complete 3 years of Language Arts, 3 years of Mathematics, 3 years of Science, 2 years of Social Studies, and 1 year of Civics. Successful completion of these courses requires the earning of a grade of “D” or higher.

In addition, a one-semester course, which includes Career and Education Planning, must be completed by the end of the 8th-grade year.  This course includes using the online student planning & advising system known as My CareerShines, which results in the completion of a personalized academic and career plan.

Students will not be promoted unless the academic history is complete.

If your child is from out of state, the student will still need to meet Florida requirements.
