-please do this BEFORE entering courses in to Student Vue!

 STEP 4. By January 20th: Complete your paper forecasting forms AND enter your course selections into Student Vue.

-IMPORTANT UPDATE: After January 20th, students will not be able to input their classes into StudentVue. Students are encouraged to enter their courses by this date, even while we are virtual. All students can turn in their paper forecasting forms following our return. 

Forecasting Forms were distributed on January 6th. Students who have not received a form or need a new one, should stop by the Counseling Office during non-class time to pick up a new form.

-Both the paper form and input into Student Vue are required. 

-Students in grade 9 (currently) should turn in their Forecasting Form to their CCE/AVID teacher after your teacher facilitates forecasting during class. Students who do not complete it that day can turn it into the Counseling Office directly, by January 20th.

-Students in grades 10-11 (currently) should turn in their Forecasting Forms directly to the Counseling Office AFTER counselors visit your classrooms (between January 10th - 20th).

Below are visual representations of our Forecasting Forms. These are for reference only:
