Elementary enrollment visits

Moving on to Middle School!

Each grade level has two full houses. A House consists of four teachers. One from each CORE class.

Language ArtsMathScienceSocial Studies

Students in a house share these four teachers, which allows teachers to plan activities, testing schedules, etc. for their students.

*Note: Being in the same house, does not mean students will have their CORE classes together.

Step 3: Locate and click on the Course Requests Tab on the left-hand side menu bar.

Step 4: Locate the Change Course Request button

When the OCR page opens you will see that all of your REQUIRED COURSES have already been selected for you.

You will see a counter at the bottom that keeps track of the number of credits you have selected. You must enroll for only 7.00 total credits.

When you are ready to enter your elective choices click on the button that says Click here to change course requests.

Step 5: Make your elective selections

At the bottom of the screen you will see a series of search boxes. You can search for electives by department (drop-down menu), or you can enter the Course ID found on your Enrollment Worksheet.

Perform your search and select Request for your elective choices. Once that is done, you will click on the button at the top of the menu that says Click here to move selected requests to Selected Course Requests. This will save your selection and you will see the credit counter increase.

Please note, if you are enrolling for a full year elective, you will need to select both the A & B courses for that class. For Example: Band 7 = PA020A + PA020B

Step 6: Make your Alternate selections When you locate the course you want you will need to select the

circle button next to Alternate. NOTE: Select each alternate in order of preference, so they

will be saved in order of preference. We ask that each student choose 3 alternate courses as this will give the computer multiple options should one or more of your elective choices be unavailable.

If you change your mind about an elective or alternate choice you can click the Remove button on the left.

Step 7: Review course selections and complete enrollmentOnce you have 7.00 total credits + 3 alternate courses, please review your choices for correctness. Then click on the button that says Click here to return to course request summary.
