Course Request Updates
Course request season is officially complete! Courses for next year are officially locked in. Come summer registration, we will meet again individually with students and families to finalize their schedule for 10th grade. Thank you for all of your support with the Class of 2027's first ever course request season.
If your student is currently enrolled in COLLEGE PREP Algebra 1, you might notice a change in their schedule for Spring Semester 2.
There are currently 3 potential options your student can be moved to:
1) Honors Prep
2) Algebra 1C-1 Remediation
4) Common Core Review
These schedule changes will be based on teacher recommendation and will occur during Spring Break. It is very important that students double check their schedule on StudentVue on the first day of Spring Semester 2 for the most accurate, up-to-date version of their schedule.
If your student is interested in taking a class at Grossmont College during the Summer they MUST come see either Ms. Soto or Ms. Castrejon in order to get approved before applying. The class will not count for students who do not get approved to take a Concurrent Enrollment class.
Please keep in mind that the class list for Summer is not out yet but we will keep interested students updated. Please let us know if you have any further questions.

Our Student Highlight for the month of March is Gabriel Reveles
Here is what Ms. Jones and Ms. Reed had to say about Gabriel. "Gabriel has made a tremendous turn around compared to the fall semester. Gabriel has been able to shift his focus on the importance of effort and time management. He advocates for himself and continually pushes to do the best. He shares his successes as well as his failures, taking heed to the encouragement from those around him to improve. He truly sets an example for his peers!"
Every month your GLT will be recognizing students who have gone above and beyond and have shown what it means to be a true Scottie.
