ADVISING

CR registration is open. If you did not turn in your concurrent enrollment form by 4/17, you will need to keep checking and registering as soon as you are able. Deadlines matter.

During your advising meeting, we created an approved plan for your classes and schedule. That is the plan you are expected to follow. If you cannot get into a class from that plan, are placed on a waitlist, or the waitlist is full, you must email Woz immediately with the class name, day, time, and your status (full, waitlisted, or waitlist full). Communication is key. If you do not let Woz know, it will be assumed you are following the plan we made in advising. If you register for classes that were not approved, or you do not communicate changes, your DE form may be pulled and you may lose access to CR classes.

If you do not meet the required conditions for CR classes or your assigned tier level, we will need to move to your backup plan or schedule a meeting to discuss placement.

CR Art Classes: If you are registering for an Art Class that has an associated fee, please follow these steps:

  1. Check your WebAdvisor account for any fees related to the class.

  2. Take a screenshot of the fees displayed.

  3. Send the screenshot to Gina at rsalmon@fuhsdistrict.net.

CLUBS AND ACTIVITIES

Please email Gina any club cancellations or end dates so she can update the calendar.

POETRY CLUB: Attention AR Poets! On Wednesday, May 6th Redwood Poets Society invites you for a potluck. This will be the club's last meeting and end of the year celebration.


I want to thank you all who helped in making the Poetry Slam happen. That includes Woz, Ed, Gina, Autumn, and all the AR performers. Autumn, a first year, has helped me throughout this entire year. She will be taking over as club president next year as I will be going on foreign exchange. If you see her, please tell her how awesome she is.


Please bring some food if you can, although, everyone is welcome to attend. We will be sharing poetry, eating some food, and we hope to see you all there!
