Course Requests for the 2014 -15 School Year

by Dorina Andes
This week in HR, students will be receiving course request forms for the 2014-15 school year. Each sheet contains a list of the courses and alternate courses students requested online through their Sapphire accounts. If there are any errors or students would like to make any changes, they must make the request in writing on the course request sheet and return it to their HR teacher by Thursday, March 27.
If students want to make a level change to one of their core courses, they must contact the core teacher that made the recommendation. If students or parents have any questions, they should contact their counselor.
