2023-2024 Course Selection

Course Selection Opens – Tuesday, January 17th

On Tuesday, January 17th, the online course selection process will open for all returning students (Grade 9 – Grade 11) at 8:00 a.m.  Students and parents will have a two-week window to select core and elective courses for the upcoming school year.  The window to complete course selection will close on Sunday, January 29th at 11:59 p.m.

Beginning on Monday, January 30th, school counselors will begin meeting with students to review core and elective courses selected to make sure it aligns with the student’s 4-year plan and post-secondary plans.  Please refer to the full schedule on the next page.

We strongly encourage that the courses selected will present the appropriate academic challenge and rigor while preparing them for their post-secondary pursuits upon attaining a T.F. South diploma.

School counselors will meet individually with each student after the course selection window closes to review their selections and address any questions or concerns.
