In March we had planned to complete online course requests with your students during their social studies classes.  Due to the current school closure, we are providing instructions for you and your child to do this at home. It should only take about 10-12 minutes time to complete.  

We are providing you with two instructional methods, so please choose the one that you feel is best for your child. 

• Below is a link to a slideshow with step by step instructions.
• We have also provided an audio version that shows the screen as you and your child are walked step by step through the process, much like what would have been done in the classroom.  https://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/cYeFFkxLl

You can use either the parent or student PowerSchool portal to complete the course request process.  In addition, you will also find the 8th Grade Course Description Book attached below, so that you can review the descriptions and placement criteria for each class.

While the video mentions a submission date of March 27th, the actual submission date has been moved to Wednesday, April 1st.  If you need further assistance completing this process, please contact both counselors.

Thank you!
