upcoming

Hi,
Can you check my sentence? Is it correct?

-I´d like to attend your school in the upcoming school year.

Thanks!

It's correct except that you used the wrong character for the apostrophe (you actually used an acute accent). Also, if you want to set off a sentence like that in order to quote it or present it as an example, you should ideally use a dash, not a hyphen: – I´d like to attend your school in the upcoming school year. If you have to use a hyphen because of difficulty entering a proper dash, then at least put a space after it.
