As we all prepare for the start of the new calendar year, we are already looking ahead to the next school year and which courses students would like to take.
On Monday, the school counselors held full class meetings in which we presented credit requirements for graduation, new course offerings for the 2019-2020 school year, and how to select courses through their OnCampus account.
In order to facilitate open communication, we’ve encouraged the students to bring all of this information home and discuss it with their parents as they make their selections online. Links to the documents we shared are also available on the student’s OnCampus account. Students have until 7:30 am on Friday, February 8 to make their selections. After that time, the portal is closed.
The biggest concern we tend to face is "what if my student needs to make a change?” Don’t worry! In the coming weeks, each student will have an individual meeting with their school counselor to evaluate their transcript, credits, and courses selected in order to set him or her up for success next year. Changes and questions can certainly be handled through those meetings.
These selections do not have to be set in stone, rest assured that we are working with your students to make sure their final course selections meet their individual needs.
