Frequently asked questions:
How do I register for a class that is a full year?
You must register for 2 semesters of a year long class.
What do all the numbers mean?
Mainly, the numbers indicate the semester of the class. For example, U.S. History 1 is the first semester of U.S. History. U.S. History 2 is the second semester of U.S. History. However, the following classes use a number to indicate the level of the class: Foods 1, Foods 2, Creative Fashions 1, Creative Fashions 2, and Economics 1. In these cases, you can register for one class, or both. Not all classes will have a number, because they can be scheduled in any semester.
But what about the modern language and Algebra classes? They have two different numbers!
The first number indicates the level and the last number indicates the semester. For example, Spanish 1 1 is Spanish 1 during the first semester. Spanish 1 2 is Spanish 1 during the second semester. French 3 1 is French 3 during the first semester. French 3 2 is French 3 during the second semester.
Why the paper copies?
Consider it a worksheet for planning your courses. The paper copies will be collected in your student's PE and Health classes on February 9th and 10th.
We picked out classes from the course description book, but they aren't an option online. Why?
Many different factors go into deciding what courses we can offer. If they aren't an option online then they may not be offered next year, which is why we strongly encourage you to pick alternate classes that you have a genuine interest in taking.
When can I register my student for classes?
Online registration is open under the Parent login of PowerSchool from February 1, 2010-February 10, 2010. If you do not register online by February 10, please contact your counselor. If you do not have access to the internet, please indicate that on the course request form.
Remember ... Online registration must be completed and
a course request form must be turned in by February 10, 2010!
