Course Selection for the 23 - 24 School Year

January 13, 2023

Dear Parents, Guardians, and Students,

This is our favorite time of the year!  Students get to make their course selections for the next school year!  Ike Counselors are here to help you every step of the way.  This year we will be meeting with students not just once, but twice, to assist with course selection. 

We will first visit students in their Social Studies classes during the week of January 23 - 27 to give general course presentations (linked below).  At that time we will go step-by-step through the students' course cards (also linked below) and assist them in selecting the right courses for them. Students may take a photo/ make a copy of their selections to take home to discuss with parents/ guardians.  

The following week of January 30 - February 3 we will meet with students in their English classes, and assist them as they enter their course requests in Skyward online.  At this time students can continue to ask questions about their course selections, and input their selections on their student Skyward accounts.  If students are feeling a little unsure about their course selection, they can change their online course selections until February 17th.  

We hope that you will reach out to us with any questions you may have.  We hope you will be able to make it to the Ike Showcase Night on January 17th and the Churchill High School Course Fair on January 23rd!

One more note: ONLINE COURSE REQUESTS WILL NOT BE OPEN UNTIL JANUARY 23RD.

Sincerely,
