Scheduling for Current PVPUSD 8th Graders

1. High School Orientation at the Intermediate Schools - Peninsula’s School Counselors will visit each intermediate school to explain the course selection process and give them a brief overview of high school. Students will attend a daytime session through their social studies class where they will receive scheduling materials (Course Description Handbook, Educational Planning Guide, and a Scheduling Worksheet). Please note that these sessions are for students only, but are followed by an evening parent meeting – see info below.

These intermediate school visits will take place on: ·

- - March 25th - RIS ·
  - March 26th - MIS ·
  - March 27th – PVIS

2. Students will work with their parents/guardians to decide on classes and complete the scheduling worksheet, which was handed out to the students during their March group orientation. In order to get classes, students will need to bring their completed scheduling worksheet to their High School Counselor during their individual scheduling meeting in April.
