Registration

It's that time of the year again and counselors are gearing up to start registering students for next year's classes. Counselors will be visiting all 9th-11th grade English classes the week of February 24th-27th to give students registration information and forms. Shortly after, counselors will be calling in students one by one to register for classes and summer school. Summer school classes will be very limited and priority will be given to students who need to make up classes for graduation. There will be no "go-ahead" classes.
