NPHS Weekly Counseling Update
January 29, 2025
REGISTRATION CONTINUES!!!!
On Thursday, January 16th, we held class meetings with Freshmen, Sophomores and Juniors to speak about registration for the 25-26 school year. Below is a recap of our meeting and we will continue with the registration process January 30th!
- Students were given enrollment sheets to write down the classes that they would like to take next year. The back of the sheet includes available courses for each grade level to choose form.
- Students were asked to speak with their teachers about what would be the next logical course for them to enroll in within their core classes and have teachers sign the form.
- During the Presentation we shared with students our NPHS: Course Flow slideshow which helps layout the progression of classes through their high school career.
- For further information and course descriptions, please access the Wentzville School District Course Guide HERE
- The deadline for having the Student Registration Sheets and classes inputted into FOCUS is JANUARY 31st!!!
As part of the registration process, we also shared the Pathways Slideshow .
When students are completing their courses they can also refer to Pathway Concentration Summary. This will allow students to review what classes are required to be a Pathway Completer and be recognized at their graduation ceremony.
Wentzville School District Special Programming
The Wentzville School District has several opportunities for programs for students to participate in during the school year. Please go through the PROGRAMMING SLIDESHOW
for more details about each program. There are links to apply to the programs on each slide along with specific deadline dates. Many of those dates are after the course selection sheets are due. Therefore we ask that students complete their course requests as if they will be at North Point all day. If accepted to a program we will meet with you to adjust your schedule for next year as needed.
