They will watch an instructional video in their advisory class on January 5th and begin the process of entering their course requests in Teacher Ease, which will replace Tyler next year. Families will also receive the course selection information via email so they can review and discuss course choices with their student(s). Course requests should be submitted by Monday, January 16th. Then students will be called down in small groups to meet with their counselor to go over graduation requirements and courses.
