Ms. Scherzer's presentation: High School Registration Spring 2025

 

During this presentation, students will PRACTICE choosing their 9th grade classes. When they are certain of what they want to choose, they must fill out the Google Form in Step 3 on the Cox Mill High School Rising 9th Grade Registration Website by 2/25/25. 


There is no priority given to students based on when the form is filled out. Course requests will all be considered equally during scheduling. If you must fill the form out more than once, the most recent submission will be the requests entered into Powerschool.   


*Please be sure to review all of the information on the CMHS Registration Website with your student prior to filling out the Google Form. There is a Google Form under Step 4 to submit questions you or your student may have:

 CMHS Rising 9th Grade Questions  


*Please plan on attending the Cox Mill High School Family Night on Thursday, 2/20/25 from 5:30-7:00 PM to better assist your student with their choices. If you are unable to attend, the Registration Website holds all of the information that will be shared. 


*On Wednesday, 2/26/25, Cox Mill Counselors will travel to Harris Road to meet with all 8th graders, answer any remaining questions, & help students enter their course requests into Powerschool. If your child has questions, please remind them to bring those questions that day. If your student is absent that day, the choices they submitted on the Google Form will be entered for them. 


We encourage families to work together in assisting 8th graders with choosing the courses that are the best fit for them. Thank you for your assistance in setting up your student for high school success!
