Hey there, Charger Nation! It is course selection time starting tomorrow, February 3rd and will run until the 19th. Please log in to your student Skyward tomorrow and start considering your classes for next year!

Here are a few things to keep in mind:

• Some courses require prerequisites, and others may require an application.
• The Educational Planning Guide is a great tool to help you understand what courses require and specifics on what you would learn.
• Please ensure that you pick alternates if you do not get the first-choice courses, or your counselor will find something for you. It is better to have alternatives chosen so it takes away the guessing game of what you are interested in.
• Some courses you may be interested in could require an application. Please use this link to explore Career in Technical Education and apply. The Priority List Deadline is Friday, February 21. Applications will still be accepted after February 21.

If you are feeling overwhelmed or want to talk about your options, please attend our Registration Station during Lightning Lunch.

Seniors, course selection is not applicable to you, but coming to school and maintaining your grades is. Finish strong! You’ve got this!

Bolt Up!

As our Juniors and Seniors begin preparations to leave the stables of Clear Springs High School, it's important to take some time to visit future possibilities for their higher education. Per CCISD district policy, students may have two college visits in their junior year and two in their senior year. Students must request College Day visits two weeks prior to the visit. Upon return, students are required to submit a letter from the college verifying attendance on their campus. Students can find copies of the College Day Request form at any of the Pod Reception Desks.

If a student is wanting to start a new club, he/she can pick up club forms in the 1100/1200 from Ms. Huerta, the pod secretary. The link provided shows all active clubs on campus and its sponsor. More information about meeting times is forthcoming with lightning lunch scheduling being finalized.

Current CSHS Club List

During Lightning Lunch each student gets 30 minutes of lunch and 30 minutes of tutorials. In order for everyone to have a safe and meaningful lunch time it is imperative that all students sign up for at minimum 3 sessions per week using the RTI scheduler app. The only exception is seniors who have 6 and 7th period off.

You can help your student make good choices by ensuring they have registered for the tutorials. While there are not many grades yet, they will be coming in very soon and it is always good to be prepared. Clubs will also be starting soon!

Please sit with your Charger and have him/her show you where he/she is going. See the steps below:

1. Log on to the student SSO portal.

2. Click the RTI Scheduler app (shown in the upper right)

3. Navigate to the week of August 19th on calendar view.

4. You should see 3 sessions selected, if you do not there will be a blue "choose a session" button to click. A list of your students available teachers will populate.

--> See the picture below for an example of what it will look like. In this example a student has one tutorial selected (Silent reading study hall) and can select another 4 using the blue "Choose a Session" button.

Extra tips:

• Have your charger check skyward grades to make the best choices for tutorials.
• Check the Lightning Lunch section in the CSHS website for tutorial schedules and lots of helpful information.
