Hello Families:

Please be aware that grade level teams and school counselors have been hard at work sharing information with your student regarding the upcoming course selection process. Each grade level had a meeting where students learned more about the courses available to them next year. Please reach out to your student’s current teacher(s) with any questions specific to their content area and/or your student’s school counselor as needed.

Important Steps Coming Up:

• School Counselors will be pushing into all math classes during the weeks of February 24th and March 3rd.

• Students will get a copy of their current credit check sheet which will outline courses they are taking/have taken, along with the next progressive course needed and pending graduation requirements.

• Students will submit their course selection by the end of math class.

• We will encourage all students to review the courses they chose with their parents/guardians at home.

• The PowerSchool course selection portal will close on Friday, March 7th, at the end of the school day.

Good afternoon parents,

The SNAP health portal is a communication platform that allows for sharing information with your child's school nurse as well as the ability to have access to your child's health information.

If you would like your child to receive Tylenol and Motrin while at school, this portal allows parents to give written permission to the school nurse.

Attached are instructions of how to create your account.

Thank you.
