All students in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade at P.K. Yonge take four courses in fall and four courses in spring. For information about middle school classes, please review the Middle School Course Guide.

Middle School Interests
Families will be contacted in late April to gather information about students interests and preferences. Expressions of interest and rankings do not guarantee a student’s elective choice, but we make every effort to accommodate student preferences. Be on the lookout for further communication from the middle school counselor starting in late April.

Chromebooks will be distributed during the first two weeks of school during the school day. Families will receive paperwork in the first week of school that must be signed and must be submitted at the time students receive their Chromebooks.

School Counseling
Counselors do not work all summer, but do make time in early summer and before school starts to consult with families regarding the upcoming school year. Please connect with your counselor via email. Counselors usually return to campus prior to school starting. Dates are shared with families closer to that time. | dbogart@pky.ufl.edu

Student Schedules and First Day Procedures
On the first day of each school year, students arrive on campus and find their first period class and location posted on the windows of the Cafeteria. Students are listed by grade level and in alphabetical order. Staff are on hand before school to help students find their names and the locations of their first period classes. Complete class schedules will be shared with students in their first period class.
