Registration: Registration for next year's class for our current 9th- 11th grade students will take place March 7 and 8 during the school day. The new Academic Planning Guide for 2016-2017 is now available on the Walton website under the academics tab. The AP Booklet is also available and provides more details about specific AP courses. Please start having conversations with your student about what courses they are thinking of taking for next year. The registration booklet (a portion of the Academic Guide) will be sent home the week before registration.
PTSA Officer Nominations: We are in the search process of next year's PTSA officers. The openings will be co-president, VP, and treasurer. If you would like to be nominated or nominate another member please contact Arzu Ozyazgan by February 22nd.
Parent Volunteers needed for Career Exploration Program: Parents, we are planning a Career Exploration day for our students on March 2nd.
