Step 5 – Choose Your Alternates. You are strongly encouraged to choose alternate classes. PowerSchool will try its best to select your top choice based on all possible course combinations. In the event that a course is not available during a time slot, it will use the Alternates to build your schedule. Please select meaningful alternates that you could live with in the event a top choice class is not available.

Please Raise Your Hand if you are stuck! You cannot close this out unless you select the correct amount of credits for electives and alternates. Access will be closed in about two weeks. This gives you and your parent/guardian the opportunity to log in and make changes only to electives. If you plan to attend the CTC, be sure that you schedule enough Fitness to be done.
