It is time for you to verify your course requests for the 2022-2023 school year. ALL students must complete this process by April 1, 2022. In order to create the 2022-2023 master schedule, no course request changes will be accepted after April 1, 2022.
You will find your 2022-2023 course requests in your Ascender Student Portal. If you have not created your Student Portal account, the directions can be found here.
You will be able to see the courses you requested for the 2022-2023 school year in the tab on the left side of the screen that says "Course Requests".
Please fill out the Course Verification Form to acknowledge that you have reviewed your course requests for next year. This is also where you will indicate any changes to your course requests that you would like to make. This form can only be accessed through your Jarrell ISD account and can only be submitted one time.
If you have any questions, please email your counselor.
