            TheSpring Musical has been established for the week of April 15. It will be theChildren of Eden. It is one week later than originally scheduled so we are ableto reschedule Parent Teacher meetings to a Thursday evening and a Fridaymorning. This will mean that only one set up is required. Accordingly, theparent teacher meetings will be Thursday, April 10 from 5:00 – 7:30 andFriday, April 11 from 8:30 – 11:30.

            Thecourse registration process will begin after the March break.

            Itis very important that students understand that the courses they select willdirectly determine which classes are offered and how many sections of eachclass will be offered. Accordingly, course requests must be completed in aninformed and serious manner.

            Onceall the course requests are tallied and the classes determined, a masterschedule will be created. Students will then be registered based on the master scheduleas determined by their requests. All requests may not be met so students shouldhave an 11^th course selected in their mind in case an adjustment isrequired.

            Thefollowing are the dates and activities:

-         March 10  - March 21: Guidance Counselorsvisit all English Language Arts classes from grades 9-11.
