Schedules

Schedules will be given out for textbook pickup according to the schedule on the CHS website - http://chs.conroeisd.net/Information

These schedules are considered "draft".  Students will receive their final schedule on the first day of school during homeroom.

Please remember that the deadline to make changes to elective choices was April 4/27/12.  We are no longer able to make elective changes for the 2012-2013 school.

Wow!  Prom is tonight and Graduation is next weekend!  Check out http://chs.conroeisd.net/GraduationInformation for information about graduation.  It has the link to watch the graduation live and how to order DVDs of the ceremony.

Course Selection

Students will receive their course verifications and progress reports during Tiger Time on Thursday 3/1.  The deadline to make changes to next year's course requests is 4/27.  Students may make changes on the back of their course verification form or by using the change form available in any counselors' office.

During course selection remember the following things:

To be in a Pre-AP/AP/DC class students must also turn in a signed CISD Advanced Course Agreement to their counselor.  These forms are also available in any counselors' office.

To be in a Dual Credit class you must do the following things:
1. Sign up for the course during course selection, if you did not circle the course use the change form to do so now.
2. Apply for admissions to Lone Star College
3. Take the qualifying test ECompass, register at http://ready.conroeisd.net/
4. Come to the Dual Credit meeting in the LGI on 4/16 at 2:45
5. Bring completed Lone Star registration forms and money to the CCC on 4/30

Alternate courses are important! 
1. You can add more using the change form. 
2. Counselors use these when a class you picked does not work in your schedule
3. If you signed up for a class with pre-requisites you do not have, counselors will use your alternate instead

PAWS

Congratulations go to our freshmen that won this month's PAWS (people acting wisely at school).  These got to come and visit with Edd the dog.  They got to eat homemade brownies and play with the dog.

Course Selection

We have already begun selecting courses for next year.  Students turned in draft course selection sheets last week during Tiger Time and were given final sheets to be returned to their counselor last Friday.  Students will get their verification sheets during Tiger Time on 3/1.  They will get until 4/27 to make changes to their requests for next year.  If you have any questions, contact your student's counselor.
