Academic Release Form 2025-26 (for rising 6th, 7th, and 8th grade BMS students)
Academic data and performance records are used for placing students in the appropriate level of courses. Because these placements are believed to be the ones that will provide students with the greatest opportunity for academic success, requests for changes should seriously be weighed by the parent/guardian.  However, if a parent/guardian feels that such a change needs to be considered, this academic override request must be completed.  For Rising 8th grade parents/guardians, recommendations for high school credit classes cannot be changed even with an academic release.  The reason is that these are classes for which the high school is giving the credit, not the middle school.  Enrollment in honors level classes in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade will not be changed after the first week of school.

Submission of this form does not guarantee a change in course placement.  Requests will be reviewed by the grade level counselor and the grade level administrator.  The administrator will either approve the change or request a parent meeting to gather information and/or address concerns.

I understand that I also need to come to school and get the grade level counselor and administrator to sign this permission slip.

Please start by giving the parent/guardian email.
