Scheduling: February Next Steps

Students have had their online scheduling overview with counselors. Teachers have provided recommendations. Now it's time for students to discuss with parents/guardians, read class descriptions, ask questions, and make decisions! Our scheduling website has the following resources available to help students make decisions:

• The Course Planner lists all classes and descriptions
• Summer Work requirements are posted for all areas
  
• Summer School
• College Credit Plus
• Credit Flexibility

Online Scheduling: Students received an email with a scheduling-specific username and password. Students will have until February 9 to enter the courses they would like to take next year into the online scheduling portal.

Review with HS Counselor: Students will meet with their high school counselor during the week of February 10. Counselors will meet with each student individually to review and finalize 2020-21 course requests.

Thank you to all 7th grade families who have turned in immunization records. As we work to process those records received, please continue to be patient before you follow up. If there is a problem, you will be contacted via email by Amy Bonham. If you have not turned in your child's proof of immunizations from a doctor's office, please do so ASAP.
