DERBY— Derby High School officials have announced that course registration for the 2020-21 academic year will take place online this year through the use of the PowerSchool portal.
The new process is significantly more efficient and streamlined in a way that allows more clarity for students and parents, officials said.
Principal Martin Pascale said the process will “allow for an uninterrupted continuation of promotion to the next grade level,” and Assistant Principal Ray Coplin added “especially during a time when physical meetings with teachers and counselors cannot take place, it is essential to ensure students are still supported through this process.”
School counselors Jen Ostrosky and Adam Baker concurred, saying online course registration has been a long time coming.
“I’m so excited about the online course registration this year,” said Ostrosky. “Not only will it be more time efficient, but students will be able to work side-by-side with their parents/guardians throughout the selection process. This also prevents lost or misplaced forms and maintains confidentiality. It’s a win-win.”
The online registration portal went live Monday.
“We’re really excited about the online course registration,” said Baker. “Students and parents can review course offerings and prerequisites to easily select their course schedule for the upcoming school year. Moving forward, this will be the way DHS completes course registration. So we’re very happy to roll out this new exciting process.”
DHS students in grades 9-12 began course selection May 11. Incoming ninth-graders currently at Derby Middle School will be provided with a step-by-step tutorial via Zoom videoconference with Ostrosky and Baker to be held May 18. The 2020-21 Program of Studies is available for students and families to review on the Derby High School website, and is being sent to all families via email.
As well, a course registration sign-up sheet is available in all grade-level Google Classrooms, allowing students to secure a time slot to meet with their counselor for assistance in selecting the most appropriate courseload.
