High Anxiety

It seems to me that many of you are feeling very anxious about picking classes for next year. The number of e-mails and voicemail messages from parents, not to mention all of you who are stopping down to try to see me, provide a pretty solid indication that there is a lot of concern about registering for classes.

Let me try to put your mind at ease on a few issues. Yes, you do need to register online by the end of the day tomorrow, but I will also be double checking all of your classes and meeting with every student individually. We will be able to make any changes that are determined to be necessary at the time of our meeting or throughout the month.

Some people are hoping to set up appointments in addition to the individual meetings. I promise that I am more than happy to meet with you and we will work to find a time that is convenient, but it doesn't need to be before you register online because I can still go into the system and make changes to class requests throughout this month. Please go ahead and register with your best guess on classes that you would like to take and then when we are able to meet if changes are needed I can make them at that time.

I hope that eases your mind a little bit to know that it is not completely locked in stone after you submit your requests online! I am here to help you, but I do beg for you to try to be patient with me because having more than 300 students it is challenging to get to everyone all at the same time.
