Registration Begins!

As you heard today during homeroom, it is already time for all students currently in grades 9, 10, or 11 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 selection sheet/ recommendation form and you 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.  I also encourage you and your parents to come to Curriculum Night next Monday, January 25th to learn more.

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 Tuesday, January 26th after you have received all of your teacher recommendations.) You will register when you log into infinite campus with your username and password.  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.  After you have completed your online registration, make sure you print your requested courses and have your parents sign it.

Don't forget to save your signed course recommendation forms! You *MUST* turn those in along with the requested courses page during your meeting with me.  Freshmen will meet with me during academic prep, learning center or lunch periods on February 11thSophomores will meet with me during academic prep, learning center or lunch periods on February 17th, and Juniors will meet with me during your individually scheduled appointments

Juniors, I sent an e-mail to your parents inviting them to attend our meeting.  If your parents aren't interested or able to attend, I will assign you a meeting time and you will receive an appointment slip. 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.)


Also, just in case you lose any of your forms - we have extra copies posted along with the video from today's presentation, the powerpoints, and the Course Planning Handbook all available for students and parents to access on the Kilbourne Counselor website - www.wkhscounselors.com - and it is right there on the home page for your convenience.
