Subject: High School Registration -Your student has received their high school information packet today. Please read over the information in the packet. Students will register from home. If you do not have internet access then your student may register here at school with me during the CAT time assigned to their team. Additional computer lab time before, during, and after school will be offered for those families that need it. Students will use their network access log-in information as well as their PowerSchool accounts to register, so students MUST attend any sessions that parents choose to attend. (Attendance at these after school computer is completely optional and in no way required.)

Students may begin registration Monday March 13th.

Students must have their own working PowerSchool account in order to register. Parental accounts WILL NOT work for registration. Students who can not access their own PS accounts must get their passwords reset in the media center in order to register.

Registration Instructions Reminders:

  1. Please refer to the handout in your folder for step-by-step instructions. If your student misplaces any of their papers, please visit the Apex Middle Website for links to necessary documents.
  2. Teachers have recommended a next class for each core class; you will not see the the recommendation when you go on-line to register- please refer to your recommendation sheet. It is highly recommended, that your student register for the courses that they are recommended for, but it is not required. If you have questions about this, please contact Mr. Strader as soon as possible at
  3. *REMEMBER* -Your student must sign up for a total of 11 courses: 8 primary and 3 alternate. Many students will receive their alternate selection (s) so choose carefully. Alternates are not ranked or selected by preference. If your child leaves this blank I will be selecting their alternate courses for them.
  4. ***Students are able to see all electives listed for their school –they are not listed just by grade- they must only choose from the courses listed on their 9th grade offerings sheet. Lists will be provided and may also be found on that high school’s webpage or on the Apex Middle webpage.
  5. Please finalize and print out 2 copies- keep one for home and turn the final form signed (both student and parent) in to their homeroom teacher.
