Registering for the 2020-2021 School Year

Tomorrow kicks off the process for registering for classes for next school year.  You will be on a regular homeroom schedule.  Please note, all students in a CC+ class that meets during the homeroom time should go to your regularly scheduled CC+ class.  You can then pick up your copy of the registration materials from the Counseling Center after your CC+ class has ended.

Here is tomorrow's bell schedule:

1st period- 7:45 - 8:33
2nd period- 8:38 - 9:26
Homeroom- 9:31 - 9:47
3rd period- 9:52 - 10:40

6th period- 12:31 - 1:19
7th period- 1:24 - 2:12

Tomorrow during homeroom where you’ll get the details of what you need to do to register for your classes.  You will submit your course selections online through Infinite Campus in the next week and a half.  The deadline to submit your requests is Friday, January 31st.  I will meet with every student individually to review your requests and, once again, we will still be able to make adjustments to your requests at that time so if you are uncertain about something, go ahead and make your best guess on what you are thinking and then we will talk about it when we meet together.

Here are some of the key dates you’ll need to know about:

-          Wednesday, January 22nd: Registration materials distributed and online registration begins

-          Monday, January 27^th: Curriculum Night at 7:30pm – you and your parents can come to talk with the teachers and learn more about the different options available to you

-          Tuesday, January 28^th: College Credit Plus (CC+) Information Night at 7:00pm at TWHS – you and your parents MUST attend this meeting if you are considering taking any college classes for free while still in high school.  Students are required to attend this meeting EVERY year that you will be participating in CC+. 

-          Between January 27th and February 10th: Individual meetings with juniors and parents as scheduled

-          Friday, January 31st: Deadline to submit online course requests

-          Monday, February 3rd: Individual meetings with all freshmen students during Science classes

-          Tuesday, February 4th: Individual meetings with all sophomore students during English classes

You will have a course selection sheet to help guide you in the different options available and you can use that sheet to make notes about your thoughts on what interests you and then you can highlight to help select your classes that you will then enter online.  If you would 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 or come to meet with them during Curriculum Night.  (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 login and register on Infinite Campus.  When you submit your course requests on Infinite Campus they will be saved automatically.  You will need to be sure to submit 3 alternates.  I will only use those to replace classes if your first choice selections are absolutely not possible.  After you have submitted your requests online, you will print out your request summary sheet and have your parents sign it.  You MUST bring this signed form back with you to our individual meeting.

Freshmen and sophomores will be meeting with me individually during your Science or English classes.  I will be honest, there are a few periods when I have WAY too many students to meet with during your class period.  So, as a result, I will have to bump some of your meetings to an off period on the same day so that I can give everyone the individual time you deserve.  Unless you receive a pass from me indicating a different period, please anticipate that you will come during your Science or English class period.  Freshmen, you will come on Monday, February 3rd during Science classes and Sophomores, you will meet with me on Tuesday, February 4th during English classes.  Juniors, you will have individual meeting times assigned to you.  I hope to distribute passes for when your assigned time is tomorrow during homeroom.  This will be your only pass so please don’t lose your appointment slip because this will be your only reminder and your pass if you need to leave class.  Please be aware that some of your appointments will be before the online registration window closes, but you must submit your requests online before our meeting!

Also, just in case you lose any of your forms, we will have extra copies posted, along with the video from tomorrow’s presentation and the Course Planning Handbook all available for students and parents to access on the Kilbourne Counselor website – www.wkhscounselors.com – and as of tomorrow we will have it on the home page for your convenience.
