From the Bellaire Counseling Department:
Course Selection for the 2024-2025 school year begins on Tuesday, March 26 for rising 11th graders (current 10th grade students) through World History classes (see 11th Grade Course Worksheet linked here) Rising 12th graders (current 11th grade students) will be meeting with their Counselors in small groups in their offices April 1-12. Next school year, we will have 8 class periods allowing students to take an additional course toward their graduation plan. The 2024-2025 Course Selection sheet is linked here. Students can use the Course Selection sheet to see the available courses and plan out what they will register for. A course guide will also be available in Schoolinks.
We are excited to announce the launch of SchooLinks Course Planner for our high school students. This powerful tool will revolutionize the way our students plan their courses and academic journeys and will go live on Monday, March 18th.
With SchooLinks Course Planner, our students will have access to a comprehensive platform that empowers them to take charge of their education. They will be able to explore a wide range of courses, create personalized academic plans, and chart their path towards success. This will not only help them make informed decisions but also foster a sense of ownership and responsibility for their educational choices.
To ensure a seamless transition and support our students through this process, we have prepared collateral materials that will serve as a guide for utilizing the SchooLinks Course Planner effectively. These resources will provide step-by-step instructions and valuable tips on how to make the most of this innovative tool.
Helpful Documentation:
If you or your child have any questions or concerns regarding the course planning process or the SchooLinks Course Planner itself, please do not hesitate to reach out to your Counselor. We are here to assist and support you every step of the way. Your feedback is invaluable, and we are more than happy to address any queries or provide further clarification.
Thank you for your continued trust and partnership in your child's education. Together, we can create a remarkable learning experience that empowers our students to excel and thrive.

A Few Reminders from the Student Handbook
PROCEDURES FOR STUDENTS LEAVING SCHOOL EARLY
● All students must check out through the Attendance Office located in the Main Office before leaving school during the course of the school day. Failure to abide by the following procedures will result in an unexcused absence and will be referred to their Assistant Principal.
● On the day the student is requesting to leave early the student must present a note from home to the Attendance Office. This note must indicate time, date, and reason the student will leave school, telephone number (s) where the parent/guardian can be reached for verification of the note, and parent/guardian signature,
● Approval will not be granted until the signature is verified. At the pre-approved time of leaving the student’s teacher will sign the permit, and the student will report to the Attendance Office to sign out. No student may leave campus before the official end of his/her day without a permit.
● When picking a student up, you must have a photo ID with you.
