TIMELINE FOR SELECTING COURSES

  • February: parents and students in grades 9-11 are invited to attend the Program of Studies Night (typically the first Tuesday after February vacation) to learn about course offerings for the upcoming school year.
  • March: the school counselors visit all English classes to speak with students about the course selection process. Teachers make recommendations in X2 by mid-March and students can then view the recommendations and select courses and electives.  
  • Late March/early April: the school counselors meet with students again during their history classes.
  • August: student schedules are created over the summer and posted to X2 in early August. Counselors are available a few days before school begins to discuss any schedule change requests. These specific dates and times will be communicated each year. 
Specific deadlines will be communicated to students by school counselors and to parents via the school newsletter. Counselors are available, by appointment, to meet individually with students and/or parents during this process.
