Thank you to those students and families who joined us for our first night of conferences this past Wednesday. If you are still hoping to have a conference with your child's teachers this year, our final night of conferences is scheduled for Tuesday, February 18th. Please reach out to one of your child's teachers to reserve a time slot.

As we look to February, course registration for the 25-26 school year will start very soon. Please make sure you check out the calendars/timelines below so you are aware of the important dates during scheduling season. Our current 8th-grade students will follow the timeline for PHSN since they will be registering for their freshman-level courses.

Our current 7th-graders will learn about the scheduling process during E/I on Wednesday, February 19th. That night, we will host a virtual scheduling meeting for students and their families through YouTube, starting at 7:00 pm. The link for the meeting will be sent closer to that date.
