Greetings, Charger families!
Parents, don't forget that course selections for the 2016-17 school year are going on RIGHT NOW. Naviance will be open untilMonday, February 22. See below to learn more about getting help with logging in, what to do if your student has questions, etc. ALL students will meet with their counselors one-on-one to go over these selections and parents will be invited to a counselor drop-in day in April.
Here are some highlights from this week's PFC meeting regarding course selections: - Courses are, for the most part, based on student demand.
- Any rumors you hear about specific teachers teaching (or not teaching) specific classes cannot possibly be true. The master schedule is not fully set until summertime and even then, there are tweaks.
- Students cannot switch classes for reasons other than errors in the system, level changes (ex. dropping AP to do college prep) and the like. They cannot switch classes because they don't want a certain teacher, because their buddy is in a different class, etc. This is real life, kiddos!
Have a great week, Chargers!
Liz Cangelosi and Debbie Lopez

NAVIANCE COURSE SELECTION - FEBRUARY 12 - FEBRUARY 22
Students should make their course selections in Naviance ASAP. Naviance will close on Monday, February 22.
Choosing classes is the first step in the process. Counselors will begin meeting with each student individually beginning February 23 and for the next three weeks. Students should choose their classes carefully as changes will only be made in the Fall for staff inputting errors, changes due to Summer School and level changes.
There will be a parent/student drop in on April 7 from 3-6pm in the AHS Media Center. The counseling office continues to be open before school at 7am and after school until 4pm. Students with questions about scheduling are strongly encouraged to come in to see a counselor.
If you have any questions, please call the counseling office at ext. 246.
