After school classes are not guaranteed. Therefore, you need to pass all of your classes and meet with your counselor to discuss all options. If you want an extra class to either earn extra credits that you are behind or to fit in more academic classes in your day, please check that box to let us know who is interested and what the need is.
KEEP YOUR GRADES UP EVERY CREDIT COUNTS COMMUNICATE REGULARLY WITH YOUR TEACHERS AND COME SEE US IF YOU NEED ADDITIONAL SUPPORT
Counselors will call you up to review the courses you selected and to answer any specific questions. Please review this information and discuss with your parents/guardians and teachers to make the best educational decisions. Be patient as this is a long process which we plan to complete by the end of the year. Don’t worry if you are not called up right away that the classes will be taken…that is not how the process works.
