Scheduling 2022 - 2023
Certainly, feels like February with the snow, ice and cold. It’s here for a bit longer. Conditions of snowbanks, slick conditions and impacted visibility are part of winter driving. Please be sure to drive with extra caution as these conditions challenge the best of drivers.
Over the next two weeks students will be meeting with each of their class teachers for course recommendations for the 2022-2023 school year. Students should engage in a thoughtful process utilizing teacher recommendations, future considerations, courses of academic rigor and personal interest, conversations with their school counselor as well as their parent and guardian to help determine course options best suited to their needs, interests and future plans.
Parents / guardians with any scheduling questions should contact their students school counselor.
Have a great week!
