Course Selection Commences By Olivia DiCarlo
This year for course selections for the 2022-23 school year, students requested their classes on the portal under “Course Requests’’. Students were able to request any class they were eligible to take. Teachers and administrators continued to remind students that this is only a request, it is not guarenteed you wil have the exact class you are requesting. Students want to make sure they are comfortable and are reaching their personal expectations. While choosing classes for next year, students should keep in mind any sports or extracurricular activities that they may have. Student’s want to make sure that they are achieving their standards and pushing themselves. Requesting classes on Blackbaud helps organize what student’s interests are so that conflict within specific class selections is avoided. Something that is also new, is that teachers are allowed to recommend students for a class. Students are able to consider recommendations to help when choosing their classes. The completed course selection form that was due Friday March 25 was turned into the student’s advisor. This allows administration to have a hard copy including a parent and student signature. Included in the changes this year are orerequisites in the world language and science departments have been changed. It is required that you complete level III of a language before you can stop taking it. In the science department, before taking physics it is required that you have taken Algebra II. Teachers and counselors are always available to help with any questions or concerns you may have. Allie Smith ‘22 wants to tell students to talk to other students and get their opinions and to not “go in blindy” when choosing your classes.
