Announcements – Tuesday, February 25

February 25, 2025

Good morning, Blue Wave. Today is Tuesday, February 25th

A Message from Dr. Geiger

Good morning, students, 

Many of you are currently in the process of choosing courses for next year, and we understand that there may be some concern around the courses you want, the courses you need to take, your pathway progression, etc. 

Your counselors will be working to address any uncertainty and help you make decisions about next year.  Please know that these are preliminary decisions. Once we have all the course requests, we can start actually configuring the number or courses offered and any additional opportunities.  Our hope is to be able to give you your next year’s schedule before the end of this school year. Counselors have the best information about the course selections; please do not rely on the rumor mill to get your information.  You can email, canvas message, or add questions in the comments section of your course registration form.  Most importantly, it is only February.  There is ample time to figure things out before next school year.  Please relax and know that everything will be okay.
