2023-24 Course Registration for HS Students

Dear HS Parents,

We hope that you found the HS Course Registration Information Session helpful. If you didn’t attend, you can view the session at your convenience. It is filed in the HS Course Registration folder in Schoology LNC2HSP group Resources. Remember, high school course registration opens at 8:00am on Monday, April 3 and closes at 3:00pm on Friday, April 21.

Please read this communication carefully to learn about how to access the PowerSchool Portal, which is where your HS student will select their courses, and where to find guidance to help students with their course selections

PowerSchool Portal

Like last year, your student will use the PowerSchool Portal to select their classes. Students should go to lnc.powerschool.com and enter their confidential student ID (user name) and password. If your student is unable to access their PowerSchool account, they should email Ms. Valerie Norris at vnorris@lncharter.org.

Students will choose “Class Registration” on the left menu bar and proceed to select courses. A minimum grade of an 80% (cumulative through 3rd quarter) is necessary in any subject that the student wants to take an honors-level course. For eligibility to register for AP courses, students should refer to the high school curriculum guide. Like last year, all courses that the student is eligible to take will automatically be available to them in the PowerSchool Portal. Once the student has made their final selections, they should take a screen shot and keep it for their records. Course selections can be edited up to the registration deadline of 3:00pm on April 21.

Rising juniors and seniors also have the option of dual enrollment with CPCC's Career and College Promise Program. Please reach out to your student's counselor if you have questions about this program.

For further assistance with the course registration process, students can view this video.

Course Selection Guidance

For course selection guidance, refer to students' course selection cards by grade level, graduation requirements and the high school curriculum guide that describes, by subject, the course offerings at the high school. We also offer a very helpful HS curriculum video in which HS Department Chairs explain their subject's course curriculum, give a brief description of the classes and offer suggestions for helping students make their course selections. If you still need guidance after reviewing all the course selection resources, please reach out to your student's counselor.

As always, students and parents should consider the student’s overall schedule, including extracurricular activities, hobbies, work schedules, etc. when deciding on their course selections, i.e., AP, honors. Keep in mind that students are not allowed to “drop” an honors or AP course that becomes too challenging once the school year begins.

Finally, if any of your contact information has changed, please use the Student Information Update form to tell us. It is especially important that we have accurate email addresses, mobile phone numbers and mailing addresses for both of your student’s parents or guardians. If your student will not be returning to LNC next school year, please email HS Registrar Valerie Norris at vnorris@lncharter.org to let her know.

Thank you for your attention to this matter and continuing to be your best as we prepare for '23-24!

Sincerely,
