COURSE SELECTION AND SCHEDULING

Students are given course registration info during the second semester and will meet with teachers to determine recommended core courses for the following year. Students are required to meet with their counselor. Subjects are then scheduled according tothe spaces available and the times thecourses are offered.

Schedules will be made available over the summer. To make schedule changes before school starts, an appointment can be made by calling the Counseling Office at 739-6946 x 5580 or by emailing your school counselor.
