Course Registration for the 2017-2018 is Approaching! - *IMPORTANT* - Please Read!

2017-2018 Course Registration

The 2017-2018 course registration season is upon us.  On January 9, 2017, we will begin the registration process for rising 9th grade students, January 30th for rising 8th grade students, and February 27th for rising 7th grade students.   During the academic advising meeting, counselors use student’s grades, teacher recommendations, SOL scores, along with student and parent input to register the student for classes for next school year. After the registration window has closed, a list of the courses that your child is registered for, will go home for your review. Please refer to the letter in the course catalog explaining the process further. The course catalog will be available on the Glasgow and J.E.B. Stuart website in January.  If you have questions regarding the registration process, please contact your child’s school counselor.
