Course selections for the 2024-2025 school year are due the week of Feb 5! Acalanes has a wealth of resources available to assist you and your students with this process.
IN-HOUSE COURSE PREVIEW
This month, we will inform all of our rising 9th, 10th and 11th grade students of the courses and choices they have to make to register for classes for the next school year at our In-House Course Preview Program. 9th through 11th graders will be required to attend one academy program in the PAC. During the program, teachers will share the elective course options available to that grade level for next year:
- Wednesday, Jan 17 – All current 9th graders (“rising sophs”)
- Friday, Jan 19 – all current 10th graders (“rising juniors”)
- Wednesday, Jan 24 – all current 11th graders (“rising seniors”)
Students will attend regular academy when their grade is not participating in their In-House Course Preview presentation.
We encourage parents and students to refer to the slideshows for this program by clicking here when discussing academic planning and choosing your courses for next year.
