Registration for the 2012-2013 Academic Year
On Line Registration for Next Year’s Classes
Garces Memorial students register for classes on-line through NetClassroom. Counselors have been escorting students in small groups to the library to walk them through this process. However, no student will be placed into classes without parental approval. Course Request Forms will be given to students during the registration process and are to be signed by a parent and returned to their counselor before their courses requests will be reviewed. Please look for the Course Request Form as it comes home. Please sign and return the Course Request Form to your student’s counselor by Friday, February 17, 2012,. If any student misplaced this form after receiving it from the counselor, additional copies are available in the counseling office. Please contact your child’s counselor or Mr. Susank if you have any questions about this process or recommended courses for your child.
Honors/Advanced Placement registration process
Students who wish to be considered for any honors or AP course for the next school year can anticipate at least three steps in that process. As described above, they must register online for the class with their counselor, they must submit the Course Registration Form (signed by a parent) to their counselor, AND they must submit an honors/AP contract to the department chair for each course. Honors/AP Contracts are due back by Friday, February 17, 2012 to the Department Chair. This also applies to students currently in honors courses who wish to continue in the honors track for that subject area. Forms were distributed to students at their registration meeting with the counselor in the library and are also available from your child’s counselor. Admission to these courses is merit based and meeting this deadline is a significant first step in demonstrating a student’s commitment to these courses. Contact the Assistant Principal’s office or your student’s counselor for any further questions.
Summer School Coursework
Any student who plans to take a summer school course to open up space in their schedule for next year must submit their plans to their counselor. On the back of the Course Request Form is where families should submit their summer school plans. Only courses taken at Garces Memorial or an accredited college or university may be used to meet any Garces graduation requirement. High School courses may not be taken at any other high school without approval from the office of the Assistant Principal.
