Dear 2022-2023 Eden Prairie High School Families,
 
It is time to get ready for selecting courses for the 2022-2023 school year! Students in the classes of 2023 - 2026 will select courses in Infinite Campus from February 2 - February 17. 
 
We communicate our vision for EPHS through our three driving questions of, Do I belong here?, Is this meaningful?, Can I do this? These questions are on full display in course selection season as we encourage students to pursue their passion, challenge themselves, and create a schedule that will open doors in their future. This is an exciting season in your teens’ lives, and we’re here to support every step of the way. Here are a few ways we’ll partner in the weeks ahead:
 
During the week of Jan 24, you will receive a mailing full of information to support the course selection process:
  • An abbreviated, user-friendly version of our course guide (the full version including course descriptions can be found on our Registration Hub website).
  • Complete list of our college-level course offerings. The number of students enrolling in these courses has doubled over the past four years. We are closer to our vision of every student experiencing a college-level course before they graduate. Everyone belongs in these courses, encourage your student to select a college-level course!
  • Our new course offerings. We continue to expand choices for students to find meaningful opportunities! 
  • Description of our six Capstone course opportunities that upon completion will be added to student transcripts for the Class of 2023!
 
During the week of January 24, our Registration Hub will become available to provide a one-stop online resource for students and families. The following resources will be available on the Hub at edenpr.org/EPHS-Courses:
  • The expanded version of the Course Guide, including full course descriptions
  • Graduation planning supportive documents
  • Calendar of various information meetings / events
  • Recordings of our Course Selection Open House presentations on February 2
  • Counselor contacts for course selection questions, including how to make a meeting or phone appointment, and our “Ask A Question” option to receive an email answer from a counselor quickly!
