Course Selection Update

All students in grades 9-11 received their course selection sheets in homeroom on Tuesday, March 10th. Since we are no longer able to collect course selection sheets in person, we are adapting the process this year. I will be hosting a Zoom webinar for each grade so families can tune in from home and ask questions.  The webinars will be recorded so families who cannot make it can watch it at another time. A separate email specific to each grade will include the Zoom meeting details.

Zoom Webinar for 9th Grade Families: Thursday, March 26th at 12:30 pm

Zoom Webinar for 10th Grade Families: Thursday, March 26th at 1:30 pm

Zoom Webinar for 11th Grade Families: Thursday, March 26th at 2:30 pm

On Friday, March 27th, each grade will be sent a Course Selection Google Form to be completed along with a link to the Course Over-ride Form. Students and parents/guardians are expected to fill out this form together. We will not be collecting paper sheets. Directions will come with the Google Forms on Friday, March 27th. Course Selection Forms and Over-ride Forms are due on Friday, April 3rd.

Please email your guidance counselor if you have specific questions relating to your academic programming for next year.
