Parents/Guardians (IMPORTANT COURSE REQUEST INFORMATION),
We are excited to meet with your student(s) next week about their course requests for the 2019-2020 school year. These presentation will include information on new courses, grad requirements, university entrance requirements, course entry deadlines, and 0 hour request & TA request processes. Counselors will present this information through English, on January 22nd to Freshmen, 23rd to Sophomores, and 24th to Juniors.
- Deadline for course request entry is February 12th, 2019 both online and in hard copy form (requires student & parent/guardian signatures)
- Deadline for 0 hour and TA request is February 20th, 2019. We will start accepting requests on January 25th
We encourage you to talk to your student(s) about what courses can support their post-high school plan or explore interests they may have. Course books will be posted on your student(s) graduating cohort, google classroom for reference (ex. Class of 2020).
All junior students will be meeting with their counselor and the College and Career Center during the week of January 28th. This meeting will present important information and timelines that juniors should be following, as well as one-on-one meetings between your student(s) and their counselor in regards to their post-high school plan and senior year course requests.
- Junior Advisement during the week of January 28th
If following these presentations, your student(s) continues to have questions in regards to their 2019-2020 course requests or beyond, we encourage them to talk to their counselor.
- Students may schedule one-on-one appointments regarding course requests beginning January 28th.
