Dear Castle View Families,
Tomorrow our proud Class of 2018 graduates receive their diplomas and a short 7 days after that, summer break begins. I wanted to send this weekly newsletter one day early because I've included the livestream link (below) for our CVHS graduation ceremony if you'd like to watch the excitement from your home. Seniors, CONGRATULATIONS! Go chase your dreams, look after each other and stay safe!

COURSE REQUESTS FOR 2018/2019
Today (5/15), your student received a copy of their course requests for the 18/19 school year in advisement.
May 15th through May 22nd will be the FINAL CHANCE for students to change any of their course requests. All change requests will be made using this online
LINK. (**Students must be logged into their gmail account to complete the form.)
Please keep in mind that next year's 10th and 11th graders are capped at 7.0 credits and 12th graders are capped at 6.0 unless they meet the criteria found at this
LINK.
We will take these requests and spend the summer building schedules that will meet as many requests as possible. Students are not able to request specific off periods, lunches and/or order of classes. Seniors in unique programs like internship or off-campus classes will be contacted if there are conflicts.
Schedules will be viewable on August 2nd. Counselors will not be available for walk-in schedule corrections in the fall. Families will be contacted if there is a problem that requires an appointment.

SUMMER SCHOOL
All CVHS students who need summer school must speak with a counselor in the next two weeks. CVHS counselors will be available on May 25th (7:30 to 11:30 am) and May 29th (7:30 am to 2:30 pm) to advise you on the best summer school options.
Some questions may be answered by simply emailing their counselor.
You should consider summer school if:
*You are a freshman that failed 2 or more core classes this year.
*You are a sophomore that will have less than 12.0 credits after this term (you have more than 6 F's on your transcript).
*You are a junior that will have less than 18.0 credits after this term (or if you are far behind in a certain area like English or Science).
