High School Registration!

February 11th and 12th- High School Orientation: High School Vocabulary Lesson in Social Studies classes
February 17th- Families receive an email of their student's high school assignment ( This will also be mailed home to families)
February 18th and 19th- High School Registration : How to Register for Classes in Infinite Campus
*Families will be receiving this same information in a mailing. It will include a "How to Register" flyer and an AIF form. The AIF form shares the recommended course subjects for the student. (Honors vs. Regular, level of Math class etc) If you have any questions about the recommendations, please have a conversation with your student's teacher in that subject area. The district formulated the AIF recommendation. Teacher input was not part of that process.
February 22 and 23rd- Final Registration appointments- School Counselors will be meeting with students individually to make sure they have the course planner/registration completed.
