• Students must enter their course requests into StudentVue. Click on How to enter your courses into StudentVue for a video tutorial.
• Parents, please make sure that you review your student’s course selections for next year carefully before signing the schedule card. It is important that both the student and parent are in agreement on the courses selected.
• The courses you select for next school year cannot be changed. Many things here at the high school depend on the course selections that are made by students, including staffing. It is important that all students and parents understand that course selection is important and the necessary time should be given to this process. Schedule changes at the beginning of the school year or throughout the school year will not be permitted- we simply do not have that flexibility.

• Not all course selections are guaranteed, so make sure to choose your alternates wisely.
