Coming in 2019-20

For the upcoming school year, the Diocese of Harrisburg is transitioning to a new parent/student portal system for all schools called PlusPortals. Your student will be scheduling classes for next year using this new system. Juniors will begin this process next week, followed by sophomores and freshmen. Students will receive information about course selection in their homerooms, then will meet with their guidance counselors and finally receive directions to make their selections. Re-registration paperwork will be sent home with each student at this time. A letter explaining this process to parents and students will be sent out via One Call. A power-point presentation that has step-by-step instructions to make the course selections can be seen by clicking here. Your student will be receiving this information as well. We thank you in advance for your patience and understanding as we move through this process using a new portal system.
