Student Digital Daily Health Check Attestations
On Monday, March 22, the district changed the digital daily health attestation requirements for students.
While families will continue to receive a personalized health attestation link for each of their students via email on a daily basis, families only need to fill them out on days their student will attend in-person learning or on-site activities.
2021 - 2022 Registration
Students and Families:
Course selection for next year was due on Friday, March 19. Counselors are trying to reach out to students who have not completed this process. However, soon, we will have no choice but to start creating student schedules for those who did not complete this process. All student schedule requests will be finalized no later than Friday, March 26.
Please note:
1. If we do not have enough course requests for your student, we will add the core classes and electives
2. Your student will be held to these course requests because we rely on student request data to determine any classes that must be cancelled due to low interest, as well as how many sections of a course we offer.
3. All registration information and steps to complete this process are on our website.
We ask that all families check with their students to make sure they have completed the registration process this weekend.
