Parent Scheduling Letter
We have planned a variety of ways to help students and parents understand the scheduling process, incluidng:

1. Advisory/Counselor Help
Advisory teachers and counselors will be working with students to pick courses based on a review of transcripts, post-secondary aspirations, and graduation requirements. Students will be working in Advisory beginning in January to select their courses.

2. Class Meetings
Administration and counselors will be meeting with students to explain the changes in the course selection process, how to use the online scheduling system on TEMS to select courses, the importance of taking appropriately challenging courses, and how to pick the right courses.

3. Parent Conference
A parent conference is scheduled for Jan. 8, 2009 at 7:00 p.m. in the SHS Auditorium. We will be explaining changes in the course selection process, how to use the online scheduling program, graduation requirements, and will be answering questions.

4. Evening Scheduling Sessions
Two evening scheduling sessions are scheduled between Feb. 4 and 5 from 5:00 - 7:00 p.m. in the LMC for parents/students without a home computer, who are having difficulty using the online scheduling program at home or who have questions about the scheduling process. The grade level guidance counselor and administration will be available.
