RE: High School Class Scheduling (2021-22)
DATE: March 10, 2021
One of the more important aspects of the high school experience for students is the class scheduling process. On Monday, March 8, students will be presented with helpful information and documents relative to the class scheduling process for the 2021-22 school year. Additional hard copies of these important class scheduling documents will also be made available within the high school and guidance offices.
Please keep in mind, enrollment for classes is not determined on a “first come, first serve” basis but rather by weighing the graduation needs of each high school student. It is rare that a class is filled and/or closed for students. It is more likely that some classes simply do not fit within the individual student’s schedule due to their other class needs or wants. Therefore, please be thorough and intentional as you select your classes. If you should have any questions about this process, please contact Mr. Rook, Mr. Cyrus, or Mrs. Sherry. We are here to support you during this process.
Current students in Grades 8-11 should follow the steps found below to begin selecting their classes for the 2021-22 school year.
Step 1: Read and then review the complete East Palestine High School Course Registration Guide (2021-22). This guide includes a description of all the courses available to high school students and outlines course and graduation requirements, academic distinctions and honors, and other important information. An online version of the Course Registration Guide (2021-22) can be found here: https://5il.co/qbui
Step 2: On the Course Registration Guide Worksheet (2021-22), complete the information at the top, which includes your name, grade, etc. Then, select those courses in which you would like to enroll by following the directions in the header for each subject. This can be done by placing a check mark within the box if you are completing the worksheet in hard copy format. An online version of the Course Registration Guide Worksheet (2021-22) can be found here: https://5il.co/qbul
Step 3: Double check your work. On the Course Registration Guide Worksheet (2021-22), students should have selected a minimum of 6 course credits. Credit information for each course can be found next to the course name. Students participating in the College Credit Plus program or attending the career center will have less than 6 course credits. Be sure to total your course credits and place this number on the top of your Course Registration Guide Worksheet (2021-22) in the space provided.
Step 4: Students should review their class selections with their parents and have them sign their name on the top of the Course Registration Guide Worksheet (2021-22) in the space provided.
Step 5: Submit your completed Course Registration Guide Worksheet (2021-22) to the high school office or via email to Mr. Rook at james.rook@myepschools.org. Course Registration Guide Worksheets (2021-22) are due by Monday, March 29.
Thank you for your cooperation and best of luck during this class scheduling process.
Sincerely,
Mr. Rook, Principal
East Palestine Schools
