The process will began this month, January, with 9^th grade incoming parent night, Guidance Lessons in the classroom, an Elective Fair held during lunch over 3-days and a Parent Night for our current students.

Please be sure to use The Catalog of Approved High School Courses to review course selections for the upcoming school year. Please note course descriptions and prerequisites. Each student was given a copy of the catalog when the course registration forms were distributed.

 ALTERNATE CLASSES, SCHEDULE CHANGES & COURSE RECOMMENDATIONS: 

• Please note that seven credits must be requested on the course reg. form this applies to upcoming seniors as well. In addition, students must list 3 courses to be used as alternates in case an elective chosen is not available or there is a scheduling conflict. ***PLEASE be sure that your child selects 3 alternates that they are very much interested in taking. There is always a chance that we will look to their alternates if there is a conflict with their first seven choices. ***WE WILL NOT MAKE SCHEDULE CHANGES BECAUSE A STUDENT DOES NOT WANT TO TAKE ONE OF THEIR ALTERNATES.

• Concerns about a course recommendation? Please contact your child’s School Counselor to proceed with a course placement review. This process must be completed by March 31^st.
