REGISTRATION FORMS VIDEO (12/11/24-12/16/24) FILMED ON 11/10/24

Aloha, Vikings! As you work on completing your Registration Forms for next school year, I just wanted to share some quick tips and reminders for you all:

 

  1. Every student in grades 9-11 must submit a complete registration form with all Elective choices filled. We will always try to give you your top choices, but if we cannot, we need alternative choices as well.

 

  1. Remember to talk to your current teachers if you have any questions about what class you should take next. Your teachers know you best, and can make good recommendations for you for next year.

 

  1. If you are looking for more of a challenge in your academics, consider talking to your teachers about possible AP and Early College options. You can see me if you have any questions about Early College.

 

  1. Everyone will be automatically registered for your next CTE Pathway course, but seniors can also select the Work-based Learning course to get even more hands-on experience in your pathway before graduation.

 

  1. Choose electives that will benefit you based on your post-high school plans. Consider taking or continuing your World Language, Fine Art, or Music classes. Step up your leadership experience with our Leadership and JROTC classes. Put your graphic design, photography, or writing skills to use by taking Yearbook. Or work some physical activity into your day with one of our PE choices. We want you to enjoy the classes you take, so put some thought into your selections.

 

  1. And lastly, remember that submitting a complete registration form ON-TIME by December 16th is your best chance of getting the schedule that you want. If you do not turn in your registration form, we will create a schedule for you, and you may not like the classes you get. Do not give up your chance to choose for yourself.

 

So, please see any of the counselors if you have questions about completing your registration forms before December 16th. Have a great day Vikings!
