PWHS 25-26 Course Selection
PWHS 25-26 Course Selection
The PWHS Course Selection exploratory window to investigate courses and plans of study for next year has arrived. Your child received an email this week with information to access materials via their Canvas “Class of” page. This information can also be found for families on Canvas or via the school website [HERE]. Here are the upcoming important dates for course selection:
February 2 through February 28
Elective courses of study are choice options that align with your child’s interests and career pathway. During this time period, teachers will spotlight electives, Advanced Placement, and dual enrollment courses through “February Forums”, offering sessions during Bonus Block (BB). The purpose of the sessions is to share information and answer questions about their classes. Students will register for sessions of interest in the Bonus Block portal through PowerSchool to attend. The BB portal is open!
February 11
Program Planning Night is an opportunity for families to attend various sessions, led by teachers and counselors, focused on potential course work, content and special programming your child may be interested in pursuing next year. Program Planning night will take place at Plymouth Whitemarsh High School from 5:30-7:45 PM. This evening is typically for incoming 9th grade families but all are welcome. This evening is for parents and guardians only (1 per household).
