Course Selection

Students should check their email regularly for an email from their counselor, inviting them to sign up for a Google Calendar timeslot. The Department goes in grade order starting with 11th grader. A breakdown of course selection meeting dates can be seen below:

Grade 11 - February 3 - 7
Grade 10 - February 10 - 19
Grade 9 - February 20 - 26

*If a student does not sign up for their meeting, counselors will call them down on either Feb. 27 or 28. Please note: if a student fails to report to a counselor for this meeting, the counselor will put the student in their recommended courses and base elective decisions on outstanding graduation requirements.

Appeal dates:

February 27 - March 6: student must fill out one Google Form for each course they appeal.

Content Area Supervisors will communicate appeals decisions by March 26, 2025 - students must check their school email for this decision.

Students can appeal up to two (2) classes, if they are not in agreement with the course level recommended for the following year. A student is able to appeal these course ONLY if they meet the below grade requirement:

If a student is denied their appeal(s), they have an option to override this decision for ONE (1) class only. If a student wants to exercise this option, they will need to obtain a physical Override Form from the Director of School Counseling directly. These forms are due back to Guidance no later than April 4, 2025 at 3:00PM.

Please keep the following in mind when making a decision to override a teacher and supervisor recommendation:

1. Course content and pace may be too rigorous and inappropriate. Students should not expect extra help or accommodations from the teacher that exceeds that of others students.

2. If a level change is made based on poor academic performance, the grade will follow to the new course and be incorporated into the term, semester and final grade (grades from the previous level class are not adjusted for level).

3. It may be impossible to change levels due to schedule or space limitations. Students may have to remain in the overridden course for the duration of the year, despite poor academic performance.
