Registration for 2017-18 Starts This Week

Parents of sophomores & juniors:

Students are receiving registration materials this week. Students need to submit their requests for classes using Skyward no later than midnight on Monday, January 16. In addition, registration forms should be turned in to teachers with parents signatures on Tuesday, January 17 (gold day) or Wednesday, January 18 (blue day). All students will be receiving:

• Registration form
• Registration instructions
• Homework hours worksheet

Students have already created tentative schedules using the Personal Pathways planning software. Click here to get to the login screen for Personal Pathways. The username is first part of student's GoTahoma email; the password is Tahoma10.

Sophomores will get their materials in their science classes. They will also be doing a credit analysis this week to check their progress toward graduation requirements. Sophomores who are in chemistry will be doing the credit analysis on the 11th during tutorial in the Lecture Hall.

Juniors will get their materials in their English classes. They completed a credit analysis to check their progress toward graduation before break. Students who were absent should ask their junior social studies teachers for handouts.

Counselors will be available in the commons next week during lunches to answer questions.

Talking points for parents:

• Are you on track with credits to graduate on time? If not, what is your plan to get caught up?
• What classes are you taking to explore your interests?
• Are you signing up for classes that match your goals for after graduation (tech school, military, work, gap year, college, etc.)?
• How are you feeling about having 8 classes instead of 6 next year? How will this impact what you decide to sign-up for?
• Let's look at your homework hours worksheet together. Do you have a balance of classes that will challenge you without making you feel overwhelmed?
• Let's look at the schedule(s) you created using the Personal Pathways planning software together. Are you happy with this plan, or do you think you want to revise it?
• What are you going to put in for alternates?
