ü Students in grades 9-11 will receive course selection sheets
on Tuesday. These are due back to the guidance office on Friday. Students are
encouraged to ask subject teachers for their recommendation for the appropriate
course to take next year. Advanced courses will require approval. Additionally,
sports that require trying out will not be able to be approved until after
tryouts. The rule for scheduling is, "If you ask for, and you get it. You
got it." So, make sure you make choices that you plan to keep. Thanks, Ms.
Mayo & Mrs. Josey
