22. Choose your courses carefully!
Don’t choose classes based upon what your friends are taking or the teacher you think you will get!
We build the master schedule on your requests. Example: If we have 75 people request Health, we would create 3 sections. If in August, 25 people who were planning on taking health online in the summer changed their mind and now needed to fit health into their schedule, we would NOT have the room to accommodate them.
Schedule changes only during the first 5 days!
Remember how crazy it is to make a schedule change? Students who consider carefully make less schedule changes at the beginning of the semester!
Consider your honors courses. Administration will need to approve any level change (moving from honors to regular classes) once school starts.

23. Online Enrollment
The online enrollment window is open Friday, Jan. 5th - Friday, Jan. 19th. You will need to enter your requests using the Synergy directions.
We will be checking your enrollment requests, transcripts, and what you turn into us and enter online.
Counselors will meet with you individually during your English classes in late January to answer questions and verify your enrollment choices.
