2022-2023 Academic Advising Updates

All our students had a chance to meet with their school counselor individually to finalize their course requests for next year. Students and parents can view their course requests in their SIS account under the Course Request tab. 

Please note the following important items and feel free to contact your child's school counselor for any questions. 

  • This list is NOT a schedule, but a confirmation of the courses requested in the Student Information System.
  • Music Courses - Students who have signed up for the music courses (Band, Orchestra and Chorus) will initially be placed in the intermediate level until director auditions/placements have been completed. Please know that music directors will work with counselors to make the appropriate updates.
