1.  You should have received a grade-level Course Selection Contract at the presentation in the theater.  Click here to review the Course Selection presentation.

2.  Before you begin to fill out the Contract, read it carefully!  It is called a contract because your signature indicates that you and your parent/guardian understand the district Course Selection guidelines and that you will abide by them.  You are selecting a schedule for the whole year.

3.  On the back of your Course Selection Contract, review the course list that corresponds with the grade you will be entering in 2010-11.  

• To determine which classes you need to graduate, log in to your Aeries account and review the "Graduation Status" tab (if you do not have an account, contact Caroline Harrah at the front desk in the Administration building).  

• To determine which classes you need for college eligibility, refer to the college requirements and sample schedules page.

4.  Before selecting courses, review the Course Profiles and pay close attention to both prerequisites and homework requirements.  Understanding the content and the demands of each course will help you narrow your selections (especially electives) and ensure your success and interest.

5. Write your selections on the front of your Course Selection Contract, including your ALTERNATES!  Choose electives that you are genuinely interested in taking.  We create the master schedule and number of spaces based on your requests.  There will likely not be space for your to change electives later.  If you don't select at least two alternates for each elective, your Contract will not be processed.

6.  Have your Course Contract in hand.  Between the dates of February 11 and March 3, you and your parent/guardian will log in to the Aeries Parent Portal and select your courses online.   Using your Contract, enter your course selections as instructed in the Course Selection presentation.   Be sure to indicate your first-choice alternates for each elective you have chosen.  AFTER you have followed all the instructions above, if you need to discuss your course selections with your counselor, check the box on your contract.  There will be an opportunity to review and revise your schedule, if necessary.  After you submit your online course selections, make sure that you and your parent or guardian sign your Course Selection Contract.

7. By March 3, you must return your signed, completed Course Selection Contract to a Counseling Secretary, who will ensure that you have included your courses and alternates, signatures, and that you have selected your courses online.  Counselors will call you in ONLY after online courses are selected and the completed contract is turned in.  If you did not select your courses online through Aeries, please complete your Course Contract with Course Names and Numbers and return to Counseling Secretary as soon as possible.
