Scheduling Night Presentation

Additional Information related to scheduling that was posted to the Student Canvas Community page:

The time for students to start to plan for next year is here! The course requests window will open in Synergy on December 18 through January 16. Please see the information posted on the HCPSS website about High School Course Registration. 

Please note, the course selection process is not first come first serve - students should enter their course requests by the January 16 deadline, and all students will have the opportunity to review and fine-tune their course requests with their school counselor in the following month. 

The staff has a comprehensive program to support our students and families during this time. Here is an overview of the supports we have in place.

TOP 3 WAYS TO HELP YOUR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT 

Encourage and expect your student to take the lead in their academic planning and have conversations at home. Encourage exploration to help them discover and develop their interests and abilities - ALL CLASSES, in some way, provide opportunities for your student to practice problem solving, critical thinking, and interpersonal skills. 

Read and discuss the emails and messages that are sent regarding high school opportunities, events, and information.

Utilize the resources available to you in the Course Registration Resources Module within the GPHS Student Resources Canvas course. These will be reviewed during the course planning lesson. 

Reach out to your GPHS School Counselors with any specific questions:
