2019 - 2020 Course Selection
Counselors met with students to discuss their course selection for the 2019-20 school year. Students have one week to turn in their Schedule Cards and will have an opportunity to meet with their counselor one-on-one to review their courses. No changes (including all CTE classes, core classes, AP/PAP courses or alternates) will be allowed after Wednesday, May 1, 2019.
Please note, students who enroll in PAP and AP classes may not drop prior to the conclusion of the first six weeks. The grade that a student has at the time of the drop will be the grade reflected on the 6-week progress report and will be calculated into the 9-week report card.
