2019-2020 Course Registration

 Last Tuesday, school counselors began meeting one-one-one with each student to review course option and complete the course selection form.  On Thursday, all 8th grade students met their high school counselors to receive an overview of graduation requirements and received copies of their course catalog.  Over the next several weeks your student will bring home a copy of their selections for you to sign and return within a few days.  Here is a link to the course descriptions at Poe  https://poems.fcps.edu/announcements/2019-2020-course-information

As always please let us know what questions you may have as we move through the academic advising season!


Grade Card Distribution- February 5th

This past Thursday marked the final day of 2nd quarter.  We encourage you to monitor your student’s grades in SIS (through StudentView or ParentView accounts) and touch base with teachers if you have any questions.  Please keep in mind that report cards will be distributed to students on Tuesday, February 5th during 7th period.
