DGS Students & Parents/Guardians: We have added a step in the course selection process that will provide opportunities for more conversations between students and parents/guardians about selecting courses. We hope that this revised process will result in enhanced academic and post-secondary plans after high school.
You will have scheduled in-person appointments with your DGS school counselors in either December or January to discuss your overall course load, choices, and how they may impact your current academic plan, post high school plan, or career pathway. If you have additional questions, you can email them directly here. Click here to view counselor contact information.
After you have reviewed your course recommendations and reviewed your course load, review the following questions below:
Do I have at least six courses selected for each semester? (At this point, you are not able to force semester electives into a given semester).
The maximum number for a school year is 7.0 unless you have chosen an Early Bird class (PE, Jazz Band, or Cons. Ed. Hybrid). Check to make sure you are not enrolled in too many courses. Talk to your counselor during your in-person meeting in January if revisions need to be made to locked courses.
Does my list of requested courses support my academic plan?
Does my list of requested courses support my post high school plan?
Does my plan support a career path I am interested in?
