Q: Do I need to select health (for 10^th grade) or personal finance (for 11^th grade)?

A: Yes. Even if you plan to take these courses during summer school. Many students' plans change between now and May, and we want to make sure you have this because it is a graduation requirement.

Q: What if I failed a class and I’m not sure if I need to retake it?

A: When you meet with your counselor individually in February or March, your counselor will review your transcript with you to make sure you are on track to graduate. If you need to retake any courses, your counselor will let you know and will adjust your course requests in PowerSchool.

Q: How do I know what math class to take next year?

A: Math teachers to the rescue! Every student currently taking a math class will be recommended to a specific math class for the upcoming year. Your math teacher will take the time to enter a math recommendation into PowerSchool so that when you log in to enter your course requests, you will be able to see what class they have recommended you take. See Math Sequence in the panel above. 

Q: Where do I find course descriptions?

A: While your school counselors often sound like walking/talking course catalogs, we think your best bet is to check out the actual district course catalog located online. The course catalog is located on the CHS Counseling website. The catalog has a course description for each class offered at Central.

Q: When can I register for summer school?

A: Summer school registration is a separate process from enrolling in academic school year classes. Summer school information is typically sent to us mid-to-late March. Please listen and watch for announcements regarding summer school at that time.
