Course Scheduling for the 2021-22 School Year
Hello Bronco Families,
It is that time of year (yes, already!) for you and your student to plan their schedule and courses for next year. This newsletter is specific to that process alone, including links, videos, dates, and course packets.
If you have questions, we are hosting a parent night on February 9th to assist with this. Additionally, students can reach out to their counselor for appointments to talk through their choices. Finally, we will be meeting 1:1 with students as an admin and counseling team, in the first couple of weeks in March.
There are two steps that must be completed for course selection:
- Student must complete the google form
- Student must enter courses requested on Homelink.
The sooner the better with these requests, but our deadline for all students is February 26th.
We look forward to planning with you and your student, and planning for the upcoming school year.
Cheerfully,
Kelly Cooper
Principal
