Registration Information for the 2025-2026 School Year

  1. Counselors were busy working with students to register for their classes for the 2025-26 school year throughout February. We are hopeful you had an opportunity to discuss course selection options with your students.
  2. A recap of the pre-registration/registration sessions is included here:
  • January 29th, during Advisory, our 9th, 10th, and 11th graders received the course registration information and presentation.
  • Teachers recommended courses for students in PowerSchool.
  • February 5th and 6th, counselors worked with 9th, 10th, & 11th graders to verify course choices during their Science class.
3. The Grandview Course Registration Guide 2025-26 is a great tool to use with your students throughout high school as they plan for their courses and futures. The Guide can be found here: https://www.cherrycreekschools.org/Page/4475
