Please check your Documents folder for a file titled “NSHS 2022-2023 Course Requests”. The file type is “Recommendation”, uploaded on Friday, April 1.

 

Review this document to determine if your course requests are correct. Regardless of whether any changes need to be made, you will still need to complete this form.

All students need to complete a verification form, regardless of whether a correction is being requested.

If students have any questions after completing the form, there is a space at the end of the form for them to indicate that they still need assistance from a counselor.
