Over the next six weeks, guidance counselors will meet with each student to review his/her course requests, answer questions, and make appropriate changes to the requests.
Please visit the Program Planning Page of the Guidance Department website for instructions on using the Portal, links to the Program of Studies, and the entire Program Planning Timeline. Verification sheets will be sent home through Advisory on Monday, March 14th, at which time parents should review course requests with their students, make any changes, and sign/return the form.
