Summer Registration 2021 by Philip Lyerly

Virtual Student Scheduling Seminar Info

If you are the parent/guardian of a full-time virtual student, please keep reading. If you have a student who attends at least one face-to-face class at Denmark, please disregard this message.

Our course registration process for next school year is chugging right along. Our counselors have been holding individual scheduling meetings with our face-to-face students this week to discuss course selection for next school year. Being that your student is full-time virtual, we would like to offer them the opportunity to have an individual meeting as well.

Beginning February 17th, we will facilitate four different sessions for full-time virtual students to meet with a Denmark Counselor to discuss their courses for next school year.  The focus of these meetings is only on course selection for next school year. The Educational Setting (face-to-face or virtual) selection process will not begin until April or May. More information about Educational Setting selection will be provided later.

The session your student attends will be based on the student's last name. Masks are expected for those students who choose to participate and social distancing will be practiced, when possible. The days/times and alphabet breakdowns are provided below:

Wednesday, February 17th

9 AM - 11 AM 

Last Names A - F

Thursday, February 18th

9 AM - 11 AM

Last Names G - M

Thursday, February 18th

1 PM - 3 PM

Last Names N - R

Friday, February 19th

If your student chooses to participate:

1. Prior to the day of your student's meeting, please access our  2021 - 2022 scheduling page and the  DHS Pathways webpage to watch the scheduling videos and access the various documents which outline our variety of course offerings.
2. On the day of the meeting, please arrive to the school, via the Fowler Road entrance, during the correct time frame, proceed to the bus lane, and pull up to the school entrance alongside the curb to drop off your student
3. An administrator or counselor will check your student in and direct them to an available counselor
1. If all counselors are occupied with a meeting, students will remain in the vehicle until a counselor is available.
2. Only students are permitted to attend the meeting with the counselor -- parents/guardians are to remain in the vehicle at all times
4. After the student enters the school, the driver of the vehicle will pull around the bus lane and park in an available spot. 
5. The meeting with the counselor should take 10 minutes, at most. 
6. Upon conclusion of the meeting, the student will exit the building and proceed to the appropriate parked vehicle.

If your student is not able to come to school during the designated time frame, you may email their counselor to schedule a virtual meeting to discuss courses for next school year. However,  these meetings will not begin until February 25th, so please plan accordingly.
