Mark an “X” in the columns for 2nd choice and 3rd choice beside your second and third choice of classes. It is very important that you make alternative choices for each period. Some classes may be limited to only certain grades. There are no fees for any class this year.

EXAMPLE: Suppose this is the choice of classes for first period. You choose “Computer design” as first choice, “Lego Kit creation” as second choice and “Sewing” as third. You would mark the grid like this:
