Junior Parent Night
Scheduling Process
The scheduling process is underway and in full effect! This past Wednesday in your child's Advisory Period, your student received their scheduling materials for the next school year. Encourage your student to bring these materials home so they can discuss with you their choices for next year.
Each student is expected to put their electives in Skyward using the instructions received today. The process was outlined in a short movie that is posted in Canvas.
Reminder – Students can only access this Skyward Scheduling module in their Student Access account NOT the Family Access account.
Each student has an individual appointment with their counselor to discuss their choices and plans for the future. That appointment time is written on their Course Request Sheet. Requests must be put in Skyward BEFORE this appointment time. (Students can make changes after this meeting but is a way to have talking points with counselors)
For the freshmen, this time can be used as the Family Conference if you are able to attend at this time.
Course Request Sheet - Current juniors – white
Course Request Sheet - Current sophomores – green
Course Request Sheet - Current freshmen – blue
They will be given another Advisory period on January 29 to continue work on and discuss their schedules.
All materials, including the movie, can be found in two locations:
- Canvas – become a Canvas observer of your student and you will see the School Counseling Office class. In the modules of this class you will find all scheduling materials including the video on the process
- Chesterton High School web page – under Programs & Services – CHS Counseling Office – Scheduling Information https://www.duneland.k12.in.us/Page/1347
All choices for the 20-21 school year are final on June 1, 2020. Please assist your student in making wise elective choices and alternate choices – classes they really want; classes important for a future career; classes important for post-secondary goals.
We encourage all students to ask about classes and how it can help them prepare for life after high school as well as check out our Chesterton High School Career Pathway Book located in the School's Counselor Offices. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us!
