Course Verification Information
Elementary teachers recently completed Course Recommendations for the 2022-2023 school year. At this time, we are asking you to review your student’s Northwestern Course Requests for the 2022-2023 school year (Verification #1). We would like to stress the importance of completing this process because due to the complexity of the master schedule, we will not be able to make mass changes in August. Please note, the courses that are currently requested for your student will be the courses on your student’s schedule for the 2022-2023 school year.
To view your student’s Course Requests, log in to Campus Parent. If you do not have an account, your student can access through their Student Portal in ClassLink. Directions are attached. The deadline for Verification #1 is Friday, March 18th. This feature will be disabled in Infinite Campus to allow for the scheduling process to continue.
A few things to note: This is a verification of courses and is not your child’s schedule. The courses that should appear include the following: Math, Science, Reading/World Language, Social Studies, Language Arts, and a Performing art if selected. No general Connections courses will appear until the final schedule is received in August. A course with a .2 indicates a TAG course, 40/60 at the end indicates advanced, .9 indicates a team-taught class (students with an IEP), and .8 indicates a resource class (students with an IEP). If your child is in the Services for Exceptional Children Program, course placement will be based upon your child’s most recent IEP. If your child is not presently in this program, team-taught classes may not be requested.
To confirm your student’s placement recommendations or to make changes/updates, please complete the Form: https://bit.ly/3psExCo
At this time, you may request your child be placed in a lower-level course than what appears on the form/in Infinite Campus, or you may request that he/she be moved from World Language to Reading. You may also request a change in the World Language Selection or the Fine Arts Connections class. If you desire to place your child in a higher-level course, against the teacher’s recommendation, the Waiver Form, https://bit.ly/3toCKzp, must be completed and emailed to manganellia@fultonschools.org.
Please note: TAG placement is determined by the elementary school, you may not request TAG classes in subjects for which your child has not qualified.
If you have a question about a particular placement for next year, please consult your student’s teacher.
The final deadline for submitting any changes/updates to your student’s course recommendations for Verification #1 is Friday, March 18th. If approved, updates will be visible during Verification #2.
Thank you for helping us ensure your student’s schedule is correct in the Fall.
