Course Selection Season
The season to select courses has dawned once again at Mt. Hope High School. I always welcome course selection because it serves as a harbinger of spring. Guidance counselors have attended students' classes to inform them of the courses available in the 2013-2014 school year. Each student has a Program of Studies and course selection sheet. Students are conferring with their counselors and teachers to determine the best course of action.
Families are the most contributors in this process. We ask that you review the course selection sheet and program of studies with your child. Your signature is required on the course selection sheet. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the teacher or guidance counselor so that we can work as a team to ensure the best placement for your child.
Course selection sheets must be returned to the high school guidance office by the end of the school day on Thursday, March 28th.
