Students and Parents:
Course selection season is upon us! Student course selections help determine how the master calendar is built for the 22-23 school year.
Important Dates to know:
- October 18-November 17: Students can now plan out their courses for next year using the Academic Plan in Infinite Campus. Please watch this video to learn more about this process.
- November 18- November 23: Teachers will be making recommendations for courses in Infinite Campus along with having discussions about level changes or elective opportunities.
- December / January: Students meet one-on-one with their counselor to discuss and select courses for next year. (Specific dates in the next section by class.)
- February 4, 2022, 3pm: Final deadline for changes for course selection.
As students select courses for the upcoming school year, they consider the following questions:
- What do I have to take (graduation requirements)?
- What should I take (for college/career preparation)?
- What would I like to take (because it sounds interesting, fun, or is a potential career interest)?
