Scheduling Information

Scheduling for the 2020-2021 school year is underway! Counselors begin meeting with current 9th grade students on Monday February 3rd, and will meet with current 10th and 11th grade students on Monday, February 24th & 25th to present scheduling information.

When completing the schedule card, students should access the CHS Curriculum Guide. The curriculum guide contains information such as graduation requirements, academic programs, CHS courses offered, course descriptions, prerequisites for enrolling in courses, and much more.

Please keep in mind that counselors are unable to meet individually with every student/family during scheduling. We provide several opportunities (Curriculum Night, Curriculum Day, and Coffee With Counselors) for students and parents to meet with with their counselor and have their scheduling questions answered.

Pro Tips

Some important things to keep in mind as you navigate the course selection process:

Students must enter their course requests into StudentVue. Click on How to enter your courses into StudentVue for a video tutorial.
Parents, please make sure that you review your student’s course selections for next year carefully before signing the schedule card. It is important that both the student and parent are in agreement on the courses selected.
The courses you select for next school year cannot be changed. Many things here at the high school depend on the course selections that are made by students, including staffing. It is important that all students and parents understand that course selection is important and the necessary time should be given to this process. Schedule changes at the beginning of the school year or throughout the school year will not be permitted- we simply do not have that flexibility.
Not all course selections are guaranteed, so make sure to choose your alternates wisely.
