Scheduling Classes 2023-2024
We started the scheduling process for the 2023-2024 school year. On Wednesday during SMART, each student was given a schedule card by grade level. The instructions for completing the entire scheduling process can be found on the Canvas page of your student’s SMART class. This includes information on graduation requirements, the Program of Study, Career Pathways, and a link to a short video on how to enter classes in PowerSchool.
Please review and discuss course options with your student to ensure they are selecting courses that meet their educational goals. Completed schedule cards are due to SMART teachers on Wednesday, February 15th.
Students that attend Butcher, ECM, and virtual classes received an email with scheduling instructions as they do not have a SMART class.
For additional resources, please see the Scheduling/Program of Study link on the counseling page of the Fraser High School website:

It can include middle name, middle initial or be left out completely. Most students choose to spell it out.

Class of 2023 Cap and Gown Ordering
Seniors! Ordering a cap and gown is an important part of taking place in the graduation ceremony. The link below is a direct link to the standard cap and gown package. If you would like to order additional senior gear from Josten’s, please feel free to visit their site at Jostens.com for a list of options. Orders for cap and gowns need to be in by February of 2023.
Additionally, students are not allowed to have decorated caps for the graduation ceremony. Some students like to have a decorated cap for the senior walk. Students who like to do this have done one of two things:
- Ordered an extra cap so they could decorate that one
- Decorated a piece of poster board or cardboard and taped it to their cap for the walk and could remove it for the ceremony.
