Dear HS Parent,
As we reach the final stretch of the 2021-2022 academic year, it’s time for your student to register for next year’s courses.
Course registration opens Friday, March 25 at 3:00PM and closes on Friday, April 8 at 3:00PM.
Please read this communication carefully to learn about the two important components of course registration:
- How to access the PowerSchool Portal which is where your HS student will select their courses for next year
- Guidance to help with their course selection
PowerSchool Portal
Like last year, your student will use the PowerSchool Portal to select their classes. Beginning tomorrow at 3:00PM, your student can access the portal by going to lnc.powerschool.com and entering their confidential student ID (user name) and password. Your student recently created these credentials, so they should be familiar and able to access them.
A second option is to access the portal using your parent account if you have an existing LNC PowerSchool parent account for which you know your credentials. If you have never created an LNC PowerSchool parent account, please contact Mrs. Norris at vnorris@lncharter.org.
Either way, 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.
The course registration process is straightforward and simple, however this video will step you through the process if you need it.
Course Selection Guidance
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.
If you experience issues connecting to the LNC PowerSchool Portal, please complete THIS FORM. You may reach out to your counselor if you have questions related to selecting courses.
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 '22-23!
