Course Registration Information for Students and Families

SchooLinks: A Clear View of Student Course Plans

SchooLinks is the platform our district uses to support course planning, career exploration, and future goal-setting. For families, it provides a clear view into what students are planning and how those choices align with graduation requirements and future goals. Rather than waiting until a schedule arrives, SchooLinks allows you to:

  • View your student’s current course plan
  • See how courses align with graduation requirements
  • Identify missing requirements early
  • Ask questions and leave comments directly on the plan

 

How to register for courses

  1. Explore. Browse the Course Catalog in SchooLinks to see what each high school offers. See example Graduation Pathways below. 
  2. Talk it over. Review your student's goals and past grades together. Look at graduation requirements, interests, and workload.
  3. Select courses. Your student chooses core classes, electives, and a few alternates in SchooLinks.
  4. Optional: Meet with a counselor. Counselors check progress toward graduation and answer questions.
  5. Confirm. Watch for confirmation from your school. Schedules may change based on staffing and enrollment.
