First Quarter

  • Check Your Schedule

    Check that you don't have double periods (two 3rd hours), that you know where your classes are located, and that most importantly you are in the correct classes based on your academic abilities.  

    Remember to check your schedule through your Infinite Campus Student Account.

Check Your Credits

  • Are you on track with your credits?

    If you are taking six courses plus a lunch, at the end of your first semester you should have three credits. At the end of the school year you should have six credits, and so on.

    To stay on track for graduation without the need of summer school or online classes, you should be completing three credits a semester and six credits a year. How did you do?

Access to Your Student Accounts

  • There are several accounts that you will need to have access to and will be expected to be using on a regular basis.

    Here are some helpful links and information about logins:

    Student Google Account (via Rapid Identity Login)

Timeline & Relevant Information for Sophomores

Free/Reduced Lunch Application – for More than Just School Lunches!

  • Free and reduced-price meals are available to families who qualify. If your family chooses to apply, please fill out a Free & Reduced Meal Application.

    Did you know that if you qualify for assistance through the National School Lunch Program (NLSP), you may eligible to receive fee waivers for the SAT/ACT exams, some College Applications and fee reductions for AP Exams?

    From the College Board:

    "The College Board fee-waiver service assists qualified, economically disadvantaged students who plan to take the: SAT/SAT Subject Tests/PSAT/NMSQT/AP Exams. A student must be either enrolled in or eligible to participate in, the National School Lunch Program (NLSP) in order to receive a fee waiver. Schools participating in new federal programs such as Community Eligibility may not be able to use the NLSP criterion to identify and verify individual student fee-waiver eligibility. However, several other criteria or indicators can still be used to confirm eligibility for fee-waiver benefits." 

    For more information, please speak with your Counselor.
