Information for all Students
Scheduling Information for the 2022-2023 School Year
The time has come to start thinking about classes of interest for the 2022-2023 school year!
Again this year, for students who are currently in 10th and 11th grades, we will be using an online scheduling system. This system will allow students to self-select and input classes for the next school year right into their Student Portal account in SchoolTool. During the first week of January, we will be in classrooms to work on course selections with our 10th & 11th grade students.Please be aware that all students will still be scheduled for an individual meeting with their school counselor to review their course selections. At that time, changes may be made based on course prerequisites and the need to maintain graduation requirements.
