Course Selection for 2021-22
In January and February 2021, students will be meeting with their school counselors individually in Blackboard Collaborate breakout rooms to choose classes for the 2021-2022 school year; please see the Academic Advising schedule below for specific dates. Parents are encouraged to review course selections in ParentVue with their students, after they meet with their counselors.
Students may make any changes to their course selections until March 12th – after this date, course request changes will only be made on a space available basis. If students wish to be registered for a course that is “closed” after March 12th, they will be placed on a waitlist.
All requests for changes to course selections must be made prior to June 11, 2021. If you have any questions about the academic advising process, please contact your school counselor directly. Eighth-grade parents should contact their current middle school counselor with questions.
