1st SEMESTER TRANSCRIPTED GRADES & 2022-23 COURSE SELECTION
1st Semester officially came to an end on January 21st! Any courses that were completed at the end of the semester have now been transcripted within Infinite Campus. A reminder that while some HS^2 courses are ending, any HS^2 all-year-long courses will not have a grade transcripted until the end of the school year!

During the first half of February, 9-11th graders will complete course registration for the 2022-2023 school year. In preparation, students will have one-on-one conversations with their advisors about graduation requirements, the course selection process, and possible courses of interest. During February conferences, students, parents, and advisors will review the graduation requirements and discuss potential course selections.

Based on these conversations, each student will fill out a Google Form to register for their 2022-2023 HS^2 courses. If students would like to take any Legacy courses, they will enroll for those through Infinite Campus. The registration for Legacy classes opens at 8:00 am on Monday, February 7 and closes at 3:00 pm on Friday, February 18. With the many opportunities for conversations and discussions, it is hoped that students and parents can make the best choices for academic success for the 2022-23 school year.
NEW GREEN DAY OFFERINGS
Math Theories and Games:
Mr. Doty offered this session over the winter workshops and since it was so well received by students, he's bringing it back once every two weeks. It is all about taking a closer look at philosophical ideas and abstract concepts in math. During sessions, students might lead discussions, play math-based games, or even break down unproven math theorems at a High School level.

Bullet Journaling:
Mrs. Kopidlansky is offering Bullet Journaling which allows students to relax while growing their organization skills and helping them stay on track. Offered twice a month, this session allows students to create a bullet journal for anything from school schedules to habits, using page templates and decorations.
