Hobbs Middle School

💚💛 Hello Jaguar Families! 💛💚

This is Brandon Koger, principal of Hobbs Middle School, with an important and exciting announcement for our amazing 6th and 7th grade students and families!

Today, your student took a big step toward their journey in the 2026–2027 school year! They received an elective selection card:

🟡 Yellow for current 6th graders (next year’s 7th grade)
🔵 Blue for current 7th graders (next year’s 8th grade)

Here’s what you need to know:

🎯 Electives Overview:

1. PE is required for all students—however...
2. PE can be waived if:
o Your student has a medical waiver from a doctor.
o They choose a special selection elective (Band, AVID, SGA, or Library Assistant).
o They are enrolled in a required elective, such as Gifted, Learning Strategies, Intensive Reading, or Intensive Math.

✅ Ranking Elective Choices:

Students should rank their elective choices on the card. While we try our best, first-choice placement isn’t guaranteed—so ranking is key!

📄 Special Selection Electives:

Interested in SGA (7th and 8th grade only), Library Assistant (7th and 8th grade only), or DIT (8th grade only)? These electives require an application, which is attached.

Important note: Submitting an application does not guarantee placement. Final decisions will be made by the sponsoring teacher and school administration.

📅 Return Deadline:

All schedule cards must be turned in to students' first period teacher by April 27th.

📞 Got questions?

Please don’t wait—reach out to our guidance department ASAP if you have any questions or special requests. Once summer hits, it may be too late to adjust schedules.

We’re thrilled about what’s ahead for our Jaguars and can’t wait for an amazing 2026–2027 school year!

Thank you for being an essential part of the HMS family. 💚💛
