Registering for Next Year's Classes

As you heard during today's homeroom, all students currently in grades 9, 10, or 11 will use the online registration system to select the classes you would like to take next year.

Over the next few days your teachers should continue reviewing the different classes offered within their departments as well as talking with you individually about the courses they would recommend for you to take next year. Please be sure to carry your registration materials with you so that you can get your teacher signatures on the course recommendation form and can make any notes about other classes of interest. If you'd like to hear more in depth information directly from the teachers who teach particular courses, please set up a time to talk to the teacher. Let me know if you need help finding a teacher during one of their off-periods.

After you have determined which courses you would like to take, please talk it over with your parents and then log in and register. (The online registration system will open Mondayafter you have received your teacher recommendations.) You will register on the portal at http://www.worthington-portal.org/ and it will prompt you for your username and password which you should know from school. If you have any problems, using the online registration system, please stop in and let me know so that I can try to fix it.

Remember, your math teachers indicated the math course that they are recommending for you to take next year online already so you will not be adding a math class. Also, as you are completing your online registration, don't forget that you can leave me a note in the request comments section. If you change your mind after completing your registration, simply log back in before February 6th and make your changes. After February 6th your course requests will be locked.

Don't forget to save your signed course recommendation forms! You *MUST* turn those in during your meeting with me. Freshmen will meet with me during English classes on February 8th, Sophomores will meet with me during US History classes on February 9th, and Juniors will meet with me during your individually scheduled appointments. I will send out individual appointment slips, but I am waiting a few more days to see if their are any other parents wanted to join in on the meetings before I assign everyone whose parents haven't already signed up for an appointment slot. Please don't lose your appointment slips since they are your only reminder and your pass if you need to leave class. Don't forget that your classes need to be submitted online before our meeting! (Don't worry, we can still make changes if necessary.)
