In the upcoming weeks, students will be receiving information regarding registration for the 2025-2026 school year. Please encourage your student to take their time in looking into each class and making sure it is what they feel best suits them for both their current and long-term goals. We will be registering for classes upon return from winter break, so the more knowledgeable your student is with the classes we offer, the more prepared they will be for making their selections.

Registration takes place for a week in January of each year, students choose their courses and alternates at this time. After this window closes students cannot make changes to their request for the following year unless approved by the counselor or administrator. Students can review their course request in their student vue (under Documents) in the spring as a reminder of what they signed up for. Students' final schedule will be available to view in student vue sometime in August. Students and families are encouraged to view their students' full schedule at this time.

Information sessions regarding PSEO (post-secondary enrollment options ) will be offered for students and their families in the months ahead. A list of dates and times are listed below. It is mandatory that both the student and parent/ guardian attend one of these sessions in order to participate in PSEO for the Fall semester of 2025.

At Champlin Park, your student has a unique opportunity to enroll in the International Baccalaureate (IB) program starting their 11th grade year. IB courses are honors college preparatory classes that are possible to take individually. Additionally, if your student is interested in an immersive experience, we offer the IB Diploma Program, the most comprehensive course of study at Champlin Park. Alternatively if your student is interested in a future career in culinary, cybersecurity, education, automotive, aviation, design and fabrication, architecture/construction, graphic design, journalism, or a medical field, we also offer the IB Career Program. Even though IB doesn't officially start until junior year, 9th and 10th grade students can start taking classes that will help prepare them for advanced courses later in high school. We will be sharing more details about both the IB Diploma and Career programs at the parent/guardian information nights. Here is also a flyer we share with current 9th grade families about what classes they can register for as they start at CPHS to prepare for the rigors of the IB Program in 11th grade.

The Anoka-Hennepin School Board endorsed a $26 million budget reduction and reallocation plan at its November 25 meeting, a decision that completes a process that unfolded over the past several months and allows planning for the 2025-26 school year to remain on schedule.

A number of factors converged in early 2024 that led to the need to reduce district expenditures. Read about the impact to Anoka-Hennepin Schools.

Anoka-Hennepin Schools offers 12 schools that provide in-demand educational options such as the arts; science, technology, math, engineering and biomedical sciences (STEM/STEAM), as well as International Baccalaureate (IB).

Specialty and magnet school options are available to all students at no additional cost, designed to provide family choice. Students who live within the Anoka-Hennepin boundaries are eligible to apply to any of the specialty or magnet schools. The magnet schools belong to Northwest Suburban Integration School District (NWSISD) which provides transportation. Students may join the specialty programs using an in-district transfer process without transportation.

Six sites offer specialty programs, which students can access via in-district transfer; and six sites are magnet schools, available choices for families through the NWSISD. View the full article to learn more about Specialty and Magnet School options available to all families in Anoka-Hennepin Schools.

The specialty and magnet schools are hosting information nights/open houses for parents to learn more about the programs offered. These events range from November - mid January. For specific open house dates and more information on each of the specialty and magnet schools and the application/enrollment process, visit ahschools.us/specialtymagnet.
