Course Registration for the 2024-2025 school year will be available for students online via PlusPortals from Monday, February 5 to Monday, February 23. Students will need to use their own personal PlusPortals login, not the parent’s login. If your child does not know his/her PlusPortals login, they should see Mrs. DiSilvio in the main office to get it.

Parents, it’s very important that you play an active role in this process by discussing and reviewing your student’s course selections. It will be helpful to fill out the grade-specific Course Selection Worksheet before going online to choose courses. The counselors are available for you and your students to assist in this process as needed in-person, via email, phone, or a Zoom conference. Our contact information is as follows:
