Spreading holiday cheer! Thank you, PTSA!!
Our students entered Schroeder this morning to the surprise of having candy canes attached to each locker! Last evening, our PTSA had a team tape them up. These small acts of kindness in spreading cheer go along way to starting their day at school knowing someone is thinking of them. Thank you PTSA!! We greatly appreciate your support.
Schroeder Administration wishes all Schroeder families a wonderful holiday season!
Here's to a successful 2018 and a healthy 2019! Happy New Year!

- Changes can be made through the beginning of May.
To complete online course registration:
- As you make your selections have the WSHS Course Sheet in front of you. This is a list of all courses available. Descriptions are available when you do a course search (see following steps)
- Log on to Infinite Campus
- Select Course Registration: WSHS 19 – 20 in the Index
- You will notice that "Required courses" have already been selected. "Required Courses" are those classes that your teachers have recommended. If you agree with the recommendation of your teacher, you do not need to add the class again.
- If you would like to add another class or elective, or differ from your teacher's recommendation:
- Select Course Search
- Type the course number or name in the search box, then click "Go"
- Click on the title of the course. You will see a course description. Then scroll to the bottom and click "Request as an alternate"
- If your selection does not match the teacher recommendation, you will be able to discuss options with your counselor during your scheduling meeting
Helpful tips when registering for courses:
- Consider your course selection carefully. Choose courses to fill graduation requirements but remember to take advantage of the many opportunities available to you in high school. Colleges are concerned with the academic strength of a student's program. Admissions representatives like to see students who have taken challenging courses and exceeded the minimum number of credits in math, science, and languages other than English.
- While it is important to have a challenging schedule, it is equally important to do well in your classes. Do not select more than you can handle.
- Look into the vast elective program that is offered. There are electives in art, business, english, math, music, science, social studies and technology.
- A weak senior year will impact admission decisions related to college. Electives that add strength to a senior schedule include, but are not limited to: computer science principles, psychology, Latin, Microsoft Office, public speaking, digital earth, advertising & graphic design, multimedia and communications.
