MHS Course Selection Day

Below is the Connect-Ed message going out on Tuesday night pertaining to this year's course selection day:

Good evening, this is Dr. Linkenhoker, the Principal of Monson High School.

Today we conducted our annual course selection day. All students in grades 9-11 had already met with members of the counseling staff to prepare for course selection for the 2012-13 school year. Today, students received their course selection form during advisory and had an opportunity to discuss their requests with their advisor as well as receive recommendations from teachers. Students should have brought home their course selection form today to be signed by a parent/guardian and is to be returned to their first period teacher or the Guidance Office no later than this Thursday, March 8.

Please contact Mr. Bardwell (students with last names A-H) at 267.4589x1107 or email bardwellr@monsonschools.com or Ms. Conrad (students with last names I-Z) at 267.4589x1106 or email reede@monsonschools.com if you have any questions pertaining to the course selection process.

Thank you for your assistance in this most important activity.
