Dear Huskie Community,
It is hard to believe we are preparing for 2025-2026 course selection already. Students will be shown this video (Course Selection Video) in Homeroom tomorrow. It contains key dates, information, and resources to help students make their course requests in SchooLinks.
Counselors will conduct Course Selection Overview Meetings (during Homeroom & WIN) on these dates:
- Sophomores: 11/7 & 11/12
- Freshmen: 12/3 & 12/5
- Juniors: 12/10 & 12/12
Counselors will meet 1:1 with students to finalize course requests on these dates:
- Freshmen: week of 1/7
- Sophomores: week of 1/13
- Juniors: week of 1/20
It is very important that students make informed, accurate course requests during the process. The courses offered and staffing are based on the choices students make during the process. Course changes cannot be honored after the process is complete.
Good luck to all the Huskie teams in post-season play this week. Go Huskies!!
Sincerely,
Jay Wachtel

Winter Sport Tryouts & Practices
As the fall season winds down, it's time to start preparing for our upcoming winter sports season! Winter sport tryouts and practices are just around the corner, with staggered start dates for different teams. The attached infographics include all tryout and first-day practice times and locations for each sport.
A friendly reminder: to participate on the first day of practice or tryouts, student-athletes must be registered on Snap8to18 and have an up-to-date physical on file with the Athletic Department. Please be sure to complete these requirements before tryouts begin!
For more information on the requirements and registration process, check out this link: Huskie Athletics Info. We’re excited to see everyone bring their best as we gear up for another successful winter season.
