WHS REGISTRATION PROCESS Registration for the 2016/17 school year takes place this spring. All registration will be conducted through the student’s Skyward account. Essentially, this is a two- step process. If you have any questions, feel free to contact your student’s counselor. Step 1 In February and early March, students input their course requests into Skyward during their English or history classes. Counselors confirm that students request courses they need and want. At this time, students also request several alternate courses. Students may adjust these requests by communicating with Counseling Office staff before Spring Break. Step 2 During their registration window in late April or May, students log into Skyward again through their student account, this time to build their schedule. Students must know their Skyward login ID and password to register. This information may be obtained through the main office. Only classes requested in Step 1 are available for creating a schedule. Students see which period their requested classes are offered and build a class schedule. If students need assistance, counselors are available in the Career Center and library each day to assist in the process. Counselors check each schedule the following week to make sure it is complete and appropriate. A video explaining the scheduling process will be available on the high school’s website. Students who choose not to create their schedule during this window will have a schedule created for them.
