This is a reminder for all 9^th, 10^th and 11^th grade students that course selection in Skyward closes tonight at 11:59pm.  If you have not done so all ready, you need to enter your (seven) 7 credits and alternates for next school year into your student Skyward access.  If you are having difficulty or do not have computer access, please stop by the Counselor Corner during your lunch and a Counselor will gladly enter your courses for you.  Course cards are then due to your 3^rd period teacher tomorrow.  Make sure you and a parent have signed the bottom portion of your card before you turn it in.  CTE applications are coming to a close.  The sooner you complete your CTE application, the better.  Juniors, get your school service and release time applications in this week.

Current 10^th and 11^th grade students who are interested in Dual Credit, Mr. Alexander from College of the Mainland will be on campus this Wednesday, February 21 for advising sessions.  Stop by the College & Career Center anytime during the school day for Mr. Alexander to go over the Dual Credit process.  By now, you should have started your application to COM through the Apply Texas website and registered for your TSI exam in Naviance. If not, you are behind.  Come and see you Counselor during your lunch if you have any questions.
