Course Requests And Scheduling

 

The course request process typically begins in January. At that time, students will receive a copy of the new Course of Study Guide for the following school year. Course selection classroom presentations will also take place at that time. Students will make their initial course requests, and bring their course request sheets home to be signed by parents/guardians. Individual counselor/student planning conferences will take place between January and April. Course requests, as well as college and career goals are reviewed during each conference. Students will be able to change course requests with parent approval until May 1st.

 

Students are encouraged to plan their course requests carefully, and take into consideration their own interests and goals, as well as New York State graduation requirements. When planning their course of study, students should read course descriptions carefully, and make note of any course prerequisites. Students should research the typical entrance requirements for the kind of college or school, or the type of work they hope to pursue after graduation. It is the responsibility of the student to consult with parents/guardians, teachers and school counselors throughout this process.
