If you have a 6th grade student who will be coming to Orion for the 2026-27 school year, you are invited to our 7th Grade Pre-Registration Event on Wednesday, February 25, 2026, from 4:30 - 6:30 pm, to learn about our classes, how to register online, tour the school, and meet our teachers.
Also, see the information on the Counseling homepage about the immunization clinic that will be offered by Community Nursing Services during the 7th Grade Pre-Registration Event to provide vaccinations required for 7th grade students.
Online class registration opens February 25 for students entering 7th grade next year at Orion
Please refer to the Registration Presentation below for important information about class registration.
The Instruction sheet and Class Registration Planner form below will guide you through the class registration process.
Placement in classes is NOT first come first served. The PowerSchool automatic scheduler randomly places students in classes.
Students will likely NOT get into all of the elective classes they select; alternates must be selected which will be used if an elective is not available.
Course descriptions are provided below; they are also shown next to each class on the online course selection screens.
7th grade class registration must be submitted online in PowerSchool by 3:30 pm on March 6, 2026. After that, the class registration portal will be closed. A student or parent can edit a student's class selections through the PowerSchool registration portal until that deadline; after that, changes to students' schedules can be requested after schedules are released in August. There is a $10 schedule change fee.
Student schedules will be available in early August through PowerSchool.
Students will be manually placed in the following classes by their counselors:
Accelerated 7th Grade Math (based on test scores)
Special Education classes (based on current IEP)
English Language Learning class
Classes requiring an audition or approval of an application
Other specialized classes
Follow these step-by-step instructions to complete online class registration.
