Important Information and Helpful Tips
- Review GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS to be sure you are taking all required core classes for your grade level. There is a tool in ClassChoice to help you estimate your graduation progress. However, unfortunately, the ClassChoice graduation progress is not official and may not always be accurate. For your official graduation progress, look in PowerSchool (Grade History > View Graduation Progress), or contact your counselor.
- Link to ClassChoice by logging into PowerSchool on a computer and selecting ClassChoice on the upper right side. (see linked instructions above for more detailed information)
- Make sure ALL the classes you want to change are available BEFORE you change anything. We recommend you sketch out a plan on paper FIRST. Write down or print out a paper copy of your schedule from ClassChoice, noting and mapping out any changes you may want to make. Then check for class availability in ClassChoice for the new classes you have selected.
- Class changes are live and once you make a change in ClassChoice, it’s done, and there is NO undo. If you drop a class that’s full, you won’t be able to get it back.
- If a class is full, it’s FULL, and you won’t be allowed to take it. Counselors can not add you to a full class.
- Be very careful when dropping a class, as other students will be online at the same time looking for classes. If they choose the class that you just dropped, and the class is full, it will no longer be available to you. There is NO undo.
- Only classes that are available to you will appear. Classes that are full, have unmet prerequisites, or are not offered to your grade level will NOT be available to you.
- The SCHS Master Schedule was built and classes were filled based on the requests the students made during registration last year. Therefore, many classes are already at capacity and cannot be overfilled.
- ALL periods, 1-8, must be filled with classes unless you are a senior. You do not have to fill AM and PM classes.
- Senior free periods will be left open. You do not have to fill AM and PM classes.
- Not sure what a course is about, what its prerequisites are, or what grade levels can take it? Look it up in the SCHS COURSE CATALOG.
Online, Dixie State, and Dixie Tech Classes
- If you are taking Dixie Tech or Dixie State concurrent enrollment classes on their campuses, please do not schedule a class that period, and email your counselor with the course(s) you are taking or program in which you are enrolled. If you have any questions about CE classes at Dixie State or Dixie Tech, please contact them using the contact information that can be accessed using the schools' links above.
- If you are taking any online classes that are not listed in the ClassChoice class options, make sure to leave that class period empty and email your counselor with the names of the online classes you are taking.
- If you are taking an online class through Utah Online School, go to their website, create an account, complete the registration process with UOS, and request the class here so you can be enrolled. UOS can not enroll you if you do not have an account. If you already have a UOS account, you do not need to create a new account.
Troubleshooting
- Can't get back into ClassChoice - If you have trouble logging back into Classchoice, you will need to reboot your computer. Log off after each session to avoid this problem.
- Can't Log into Powerschool - To access Powerschool, you must use our exact weblink. If you have another link saved as a bookmark or history that it wants you to use...don't use it. Use this one: https://powerschool.washk12.org/public You may need to clear your cache and cookies for the browser you are using. Clear them from the beginning, not just for the past few hours or days.
- Forgot your Powerschool password - The same password you use to check your WCSD email or that you have used to sign in to a Chromebook is your powerschool password.
- You don't see a Link to ClassChoice in PowerSchool - you can locate the access to ClassChoice in one of two places (different for different students) 1. Top left like in the video posted above 2. Top right corner where there is an box/arrow.
