Parent Information
On February 8th, your student will be entering their scheduling "requests" into the computer for the 2012-2013 school year. As their parents, you will be invited to review and sign off on those requests on Parent Night (March 6th). Your student's connections advisor will be contacting you in the upcoming weeks to set up an appointment for that evening. We, at Pleasant Hill High School, believe that it is very important for the parents to be involved in the scheduling process and require each student to have at least one parent be present during Parent Night. Those students that do not have a parent present to review their "requests" will be withdrawn from the scheduling process to allow every other student to have their choices first. After every other student has received their classes...then the student will get to choose from the classes that are left. You will find a "common questions" attachment to this email that we hope will answer some of your questions about your student's "requests" and Parent Night.
