Counseling Department Updates
Students' course requests for the 2022-2023 School year are now visible in HAC. Students can go in and review their selections and request changes if necessary. Instructions on how to locate course requests in HAC have been posted on the Counseling Department Schoology page. Course request changes may be submitted via a Google form that students can access on Schoology. Counselors will be responding to these requests via the student’s NISD e-mail account. The deadline for requesting changes is the last day of school, June 2nd, at 4:30 pm.
In addition to HAC, students and parents received a letter with their 2022-2023 course requests via email from their counselor this week.

The forms to make those requests are also available in Schoology or can be picked up in the Counseling Office.
