Course Registration 2024-2025
South Grand Prairie High School
It's time to complete your course selections!
Believe it or not we are planning for the 2024-2025 school year already! Counselors will be meeting with students individually to review their four year course plans (see schedule below) in Xello. As we are evaluating the plans, we will focus primarily on helping students submit their course selections for the upcoming school year.
Once course requests are submitted in Xello, the plan will generate a 2024-2025 course request in Skyward. In early Spring, an email will be sent to students/families requesting that they view their final course requests in Skyward. This will allow students ample time to review what was requested and to submit a course correction change form, if needed.
Students and parents/guardians are strongly encouraged to talk about future scheduling plans together and carefully consider courses they want to take for next year. Prior to counselors visiting classrooms, students should log into their Xello account to review their plans and make any necessary changes.
