Enrollment for ’25-’26 is Underway

Story & Graphic by Antil Snoddy – Staff Reporter

   The 2025-2026 school year is approaching, and so is enrollment for the year. Students are encouraged to sign up for all their classes early to get the courses desired.

   Although the enrollment process is made manageable for students to complete independently, many express difficulties navigating enrollment and need help.

   There are many dates for students to keep in mind when it comes to enrollment. 

   Feb. 10-14th – Enrollment Week in Mentoring. Feb. 14th is also the last date to enter courses in PowerSchool and apply for any off-campus programs or programs that require an application (Yearbook, Newspaper, Library Media Aide, etc).

   Feb. 3 – Scheduling for Spring Enrollment Conferences opens

   Feb. 25 and 27 – Spring Enrollment Conferences – all students and their parents/guardians must attend a conference to finalize their course choices Rebecca Steele, counselor.

  These dates are important and students must take advantage of these early opportunities. 

   There are many mistakes students make when applying for classes. These include not filling out enough requests for a full schedule, signing up for classes without having the prerequisites for them, picking classes without learning about them first, and putting the same alternate choices as their first choices when it comes to selecting classes. All of these mistakes can be easily avoided if students take their time during the enrollment process. 

   Whether they are creating their schedules in person or online, students need to make sure to pick a full seven-course schedule. Students also need to ensure their alternate courses are different from their first choices and courses that interest them. 

   The enrollment process can seem like a lot but it is vital for making the next school year enjoyable for students. Enrolling early and on time is key to having the best chance of getting the perfect schedule.
