2025-26 Course Selections

Hello Sherwood Heights Families!

We are thrilled to welcome our new and returning students to Sherwood Heights Junior High for the 2025-26 school year! As we prepare for this exciting new chapter, we want to make the course selection process as smooth as possible for everyone.

Important Dates:

• April 2 – Students will receive a printed copy of the Option Course Planning Sheet during grade-level assemblies.
• April 4–15 – We will visit elementary schools to introduce ourselves, share general information about Sherwood Heights, distribute printed copies of the Option Course Planning Sheet, and discuss option courses in more detail.
• April 21 – Deadline for submitting option course requests in the PowerSchool Parent Portal.

Course Selection Process:

Below, you’ll find details on the links and documents that will help guide you through selecting your student’s courses.

What’s Included:

1. 2025-2026 Course Handbook – This guide provides details on the option courses available for the 2025-26 school year. Use it to help your student make their selections.
2. Option Course Planning Sheet – A helpful tool for students to plan their option selections. Instructions for selecting courses in the PowerSchool Parent Portal are included at the top of the sheet.
• Grade 7 students: Will receive a printed copy when we visit their elementary school between April 4 and 15.
• Grade 8 & 9 students: Will receive a printed copy during grade-level assemblies on April 2.
• This sheet is also available below under Attachments.
  

  Note: This does not need to be submitted to the office—unless you selected the second box and are unable to complete the form digitally.

3. Student Request and Programming Information Form – A link to a Microsoft Form where students can request friends to be in their homeroom. We will do our best to accommodate a friend connection, but due to scheduling, it is not always possible.
