Registration This Curriculum Catalog is a resource to help students and their parents make good decisions concerning course selections for the coming school year. From the courses students choose, the administration determines the master schedule of courses, the number of sections needed to accommodate the requests from students, the periods classes should be offered, etc. Because the master schedule is generated from student requests, the courses selected in the spring are offered in the fall of the next school year. Careful consideration should be given to course selections, as course changes during the year are improbable and only allowed within the constraints of the master schedule. Once registered, students will receive a printout of course selections for verification. Parents and students should review and correct course selections in the Spring while registration is in process. 20
