Course Selection Policies

Course selection for each student is driven by a multitude of factors. There are state graduation requirements and courses of study, student and parent voice, and teacher recommendations that all come into play. It is a shared responsibility among the students, parents/guardians, teachers, and school counselors. We believe that engagement is increased for students when they can choose courses that are representative of the learning that they are interested in, and aligned with what they need in order to have access to post-secondary choices, be it college or career.  Course selection may include teacher recommendations, although these recommendations are not released to the student and/or parent/guardian until the student sits with their school counselor for an individual performance review and course selection session. That way, the counselor can advise and support the student in understanding the recommendation, as well as the learning pathways before them. Our goal is to have students and parents/guardians work alongside teachers and counselors to make informed choices about courses.  Each course selection should be made carefully.  Counselors will meet individually with students in January through March, and students will make their course requests with their counselor’s during this time period. Parents may participate in the course selection meeting. Students’ initial requests will be mailed home in April.
