From the COUNSELORS
Dear 7th Grade Parents/Guardians,
Scheduling for the 2019-2020 school year is upon us! The counseling department would like to announce certain changes that will be made to the scheduling process for the current 7th graders. This year, we are incorporating an online scheduling component in which the students will be entering their course requests into an online portal. Below is a general outline of what to expect.
● Teacher Recommendation Day will be on Wednesday, January 30 where all teachers will speak with students about the course(s) recommended for them for next year.
● After Teacher Recommendation Day, a packet will be mailed home. This packet will include the students’ course selectors, which will show the teacher recommendations. Online scheduling directions will also be included in the mailer.
● Students will need to enter their course requests into the online scheduling portal by Sunday, February 10. In order to log in to the portal, students will need to use the username and password provided on the bottom of the course selector.
● During the week of February 4, the counseling team will be available during Aviator bell to assist students and answer any questions related to the online scheduling process.
● On Tuesday, February 19, verification sheets will be sent home with all students, so that course requests can be reviewed.
We look forward to working with you and your student as they plan for next year!
Best regards,
Administrative & Counseling Team
