PREREGISTRATION AND SCHEDULING TIMELINE

Course Handbook published: The Course Handbook will be published on Tuesday, January 12, 2010.  Parents and students may begin reading course descriptions for the coming year.  Information on course placement and selection polices, as well as example course sequence plans, can be found inside.  You can find the Course Handbook on the Academics page of the Collierville campus website.  An email will also go to parents and students. 

Preregistration forms distributed: Online forms used for indicating course preferences for the coming year will be distributed to students and parents the week of January 18 .  Each form is tailored to the next grade level for students.  This year’s upper school forms will also have information useful for parents and students to ensure that individual plans account for our graduation requirements. 

Students meet with advisors to discuss course preferences: Between January 18 and February 6, each student will meet with an advisor for input on what might be the best schedule of courses for the coming year.  We also ask that students discuss options with parents so each child can get the best information possible when deciding what to take. 

Preregistration forms due: Printed and signed copies of the online forms are due Tuesday, February 26, to each student's advisor.  Forms received on time receive preference in the scheduling process.  Students can still request course changes after this point. 

Course preferences evaluated by departments, guidance and counseling, and administrators: During February and March, course preferences will be evaluated by academic departments, guidance and counseling, and administrators.  The goal is to ensure that each student’s requested schedule of courses is commensurate with past performance and promise for overall success.  We take a holistic approach to the process that accounts for intellectual curiosity in the discipline, effort, standardized test scores, and grades from the current year.  More information on this process is available in the Course Handbook. 

The scheduling process begins: In April, we begin building the academic schedule for next year.  During this stage, we will work with students and families to resolve any of the inevitable conflicts that may arise.  We do our absolute best to minimize the conflicts we experience.  Students can still request course changes after this point; however, they will be subject to scheduling conflicts. 

Final course listing mailed to families: The finalized list of courses will be mailed soon after year-end grades.  This list can be used for ordering textbooks. 

Thank you for reading this timeline so closely.  The first few days of school are the most important of the year.  Our hope is that finalizing courses earlier will ensure a smoother beginning for families and teachers alike.  As always, we invite your questions.
