Course registration a success!
Individual student conferences are now underway.
Course registration at the high school took place November 18-21. Students met with teachers, saw department presentations and had an opportunity to find out about courses offered throughout the school. The next step in the scheduling process is for counselors to begin meeting with students to finalize choices and get other valuable information regarding their futures. We encourage you to talk with your child about their choices as well as access the links below to see more about the scheduling process, the course of study guide and some of the other information that was handed out to your child.
Sophomore conferences are being held during December and January.
The
10th Grade Info Sheet (PDF) was handed out during scheduling.
The following are the handouts given out during Sophomore
Conferences:
Junior Conferences will be held during February and March. The Junior Tri-fold was given out during scheduling.
Freshman Conferences will be held during April and May.
