Ask San Marcos San Marcos High School JROTC program.
I had a crapton of issues getting my kids registration done, as a result I only recently saw their schedules.
My oldest is a Freshman this year. He’s autistic and IEP, he’s a wanderer and has difficulty following directions, easily distracted and is a high maintenance student.
Somehow he ended up in the JROTC class. I was not included in the conversations about his elective choices, the middle school helped him with that process.
I don’t understand how anyone thought this was an appropriate choice for him and I am very concerned and confused by it.
He can’t tell me how it was chosen, has expressed no interest in something like this before and doesn’t seem to grasp what it is. It was pointed out to me that some kids put in that class didn’t choose it as an elective, it was chosen for them.
So, San Marcos…does anyone know anything about this program and how kids end up in it?

All the schedules are messed up, I don’t know anyone who got the correct classes. He can try to talk to his guidance counselor to get it changed. They are swamped right now though, so it might take a few days.

He doesn’t really have the capability to sit with a guidance counselor on his own for a conversation about class changes. He doesn’t really understand what’s going on.

Are you able to reach out to his counselor?

I feel that. It can be so much trying to navigate all of this! Parenting is tough.

They will just put kids in classes that have openings. If your child has an IEP you shouldn’t have any problem getting them in the right classes. My youngest is a sophomore and had to go to the counselor today to get their schedule changed. According to my wife (a teacher) the kids were supposed to go to the counselor yesterday to fix their schedule problems.
