12. The Course Selection Process: Why is accuracy so Important?
Luke All grades
The master timetable is constructed based on student course selections in March. If 60 students choose Soccer, we build 2 classes of Soccer.
This means that …If you chose Soccer in February and you decide in June that you would like to take Foods, you may not be able to because we staffed for the Soccer class.
This Husky is sad because he changed his mind
about soccer academy and now there is no room in regular PE
