Parent Messenger 11.4.2024:  BHS Course Selection for the 2025-2026 School Year

We’re excited to guide you through a revised process of selecting courses and planning for a rigorous and rewarding academic year. This guide serves as the first step in the new course request process for the 2025-2026 school year.  More information will be communicated via email over the next few weeks.

A few highlights to be aware of:

  • Course selection is shifting away from the Parent Portal on PowerSchool.
  • Students will receive a personalized Course Selection Form with their Core Course placements or recommendations from their counselors.  This will also be communicated via email to students and guardians in the next few weeks.
  • Adjustments to Core Placements will be submitted using a QR Code located on the student’s Course Selection Form or using this link.
  • Elective selections will be written on their Course Selection Form and these will be entered directly by the BHS team.  Any changes to elective choices can be communicated with the counselor directly.
  • January 21, 2025 is the final deadline for any Core or Elective change requests.

Next Steps:

  • In the next few weeks, students and guardians will receive an email outlining core course placements based on standardized test scores, grades, and previous courses taken.
  • Throughout November and December, counselors will be presenting to students during class and provide them the chance to select electives and request core changes. All selections will be complete by December 20, 2024.
  • Be sure to discuss with your student and review our course registration page on our website for additional information.  
  • Be sure to discuss with your student their four year plan, elective options and Core Course options.
  • Students with more formalized support plans will collaborate with their counselor to refine and select their courses.

If you have any questions, please contact your student’s administrator.
