Course Seletion has started.
The course selection for the students in grade 8 to 11 has started. This year, students have received a paper copy of their options to complete for their course requests. The students are to have conversations with teachers about their course selections for the 2026-27 school year. Students should meet with their counselors to discuss course pathways and options. These papers will be submitted on March 13th. Counselors will review them then, on March 23rd, students will add their courses to PowerSchool during Advisory.

Food Sustainability Tip of the Week:
Eat Seasonal/Local Foods: Buying local and seasonal food reduces the distance food travels from farm to table, which lowers fuel use and carbon emissions. Seasonal food also grows naturally, requiring fewer chemicals, energy, and artificial growing methods, making it more environmentally friendly. (Food Sustainability Club/GIN)
