We are gearing up for Registration 2016! This is the time of year where we register for classes that will be taken during the 2016-17 school year. There are so many options for students to take that good deliberation is wise. This whole process is built to provide students and parents good information to use when making choices about courses. Attending the events and paying attention to the details will help the student and the parent to make decisions that they will be most comfortable with when August rolls around and we are taking the courses that we registered for. PLEASE put these events on your calendar and make every effort to be a part of these events.
Wednesday, February 17th- During Titan Time, the counselors will host a NINTH GRADE class meeting (for students only) to talk about registration issues that effect current freshmen. Attendance will be mandatory for all freshmen and will provide advanced notice of important information surrounding registration.
Thursday, February 18th- During Titan Time, the counselors will host a TENTH GRADE class meeting (for students only) to talk about registration issues that effect current sophomores. Attendance will be mandatory for all sophomores and will provide advanced notice of important information surrounding registration.
Friday, February 19th- During Titan Time, the counselors will host an ELEVENTH GRADE class meeting (for students only) to talk about registration issues that effect current juniors. Attendance will be mandatory for all juniors and will provide advanced notice of important information surrounding registration.
Monday and Tuesday, February 22nd and 23rd- Students will meet with teachers who taught them first semester to get recommendations about what courses to sign up for within the teacher's department. For example, if my student took English first semester, the English teacher would make a recommendation for your student and sign the registration form for the English course that he or she should take in the 2016-17 school year. This recommendation will be based upon the performance of your student in the last English class taken.
Monday, February 22nd- Curriculum Night, 5:30 to 7:00. This is a drop-in event where all of our teachers will be in the building to answer questions about classes that they teach. This is a really important time that both student and parent can come and learn about all the course options that are available to NOHS. Students will have teachers available to sign registration forms. AP Information sessions will be offered by teachers who teach all Advanced Placement courses from 5:00-6:30 pm on a repeating basis, so you can attend all that you are interested in.
We are attaching the rest of the events in a letter format to use as a reference throughout this process. Please plan on taking an active role in these important decisions.
