Important Reminders

  • Spanish 1 and French 1 are full. We are no longer taking additional students on the waitlist.

2026-2027 Schedules

  • Your student’s full schedule for the 2026-2027 school year can be viewed in the Source.
  • All students must have at least one semester of fine arts (music, fine arts, performing arts, STEAM lab classes) and one semester of PE (see requirements to waive under “PE Waivers” section).
  • If your student requested to waive PE last school year, we do our best to not schedule your student into PE with a valid PE waiver, but your student may still be scheduled for PE if we do not have available electives.
