Saving Some Trees

It is no secret that most companies are going paperless.  Most colleges now process an entire admissions application without printing a single piece of paper. The guidance office no longer prints transcripts for colleges; everything is sent electronically. Parents receive term grades through email.  Student schedules are emailed. The program of studies is posted on the webpage. These efforts not only save time, but they save trees, and they reduce waste.

So often we are trying to get students off their phones, off their tablets, and engaged with the world.  At the same time, we strive to teach these students how to use this same technology to further their education, organize themselves, and manage their time. This year, we take it one step further: electronic course selection for high school students.

This year students can find the program of studies online on the high school webpage under news. Immediately underneath the program of studies, there will be links to the course grade level course offerings.  Students can find their transcripts on Edline if they would like to use it for reference. All of these items will be posted on Monday, February 29th.

Currently, the eighth grade students will continue to do register by paper and pen.  Next year, the eighth grade will join the high school and go paperless.  Listed below are the events to help our families through the course selection process.
