If you are taking a CCP course here in the building, please pick up a schedule change form and make the necessary changes. JOLT students – if you are interested in enrolling in JOLT classes that registration window is open from today until April 1st for summer and fall semesters. No applications will be accepted after April 1st for the summer and fall semesters. This does not pertain to your students yet, however, I would like you to be aware of how credit recovery works at the high school: Credit Recovery students- If you failed a core class (English, Math, Science, Social Studies) you have two options to make up this course. Option One – enroll in JOLT to complete failed core course today and complete it by May 26th. Option Two – enroll in JOLT to complete failed core course over the summer Summer school is mandatory for all students – 2 hours of lab time, per ½ credit failed, is required for all students until courses are completed and passed. Failure to recover any failed course will result in be ineligible to participate in sports, band, choir, chorale, apogee, field trips, and dances.

Scheduling Electives Today You will need to select 0-6 credit courses Do your best to select courses you would interested in taking. I have already loaded you in Band, Choir, and Agri-Science.
