Reedsburg Area High School

Parents/Guardians of Incoming Freshmen (Class of 2025): A Zoom virtual informational meeting about future RAHS scheduling and course selection for the 2021-2022 school year took place on February 2nd; a recording of this meeting is posted below. The meeting covered information shared with your 8th-grade child at school during the week of January 25th. The completed and signed course selection sheet is due back to your child's school by February 8th or 9th (depending on the student's scheduled school day). Please contact the middle or high school counselors if you have any questions or concerns. A notice to parochial school or new-to-the-district parents/guardians: Please complete the online new-student enrollment process with the School District of Reedsburg so that your student's course selections may be entered into the system and a high school schedule may be generated for your child. Please go to New Student Online Registration to complete the registration process. For more information about completing this step, please contact the Registrar at the Central Office by calling (608) 524-2016.

RAHS Students Currently in Grades 9, 10 & 11: During the week of February 22nd, students will choose their future 2021-2022 courses online using Xello, an online future-planning tool. To access Xello, students will go to the Career Exploration website, click on "Students Login Here" and then use their Google login information (if not on a Chromebook). Student transcript information will be uploaded into Xello and recommendations will be made regarding what courses students should take to stay on track for graduation. Students and parents/guardians are strongly encouraged to talk about future scheduling plans together and carefully consider and choose courses for next year. Students will receive information and reminders by school email by February 22nd; parents/guardians will receive a Skylert notification as well. Please contact School Counseling Staff with any questions. Students must submit their next-year courses online using Xello before the end of the day on February 26th.

NOTE: When selecting courses, students and families are encouraged to confirm School District of Reedsburg Graduation Requirements, talk to teachers, carefully review the Course Description Booklet, confirm student Academic History and/or transcripts in the Portfolio on Skyward Family Access, and/or contact a School Counselor for assistance as soon as possible.

Future Course Selection & Scheduling

Current RAHS Students (Grades 9-11): In late January or early February, RAHS students are given information and instructions at school regarding course selection and scheduling for the following school year. Students and their parents/guardians are asked discuss the course information together before students submit their course selections online at school. For more information, please read the online Annual Course Description Book. Students and families are encouraged to contact a School Counselor with questions about high school courses and future education and career plans. NOTE: Students and parents/guardians may log onto their Skyward accounts and click on the "Academic History" tab to view course history, including grades and credits. An unofficial copy of the student's high school transcript is also viewable on the "Portfolio" page. Skyward access may be temporarily disabled during the summer months for updates.

Incoming Freshmen (Grade 8): Soon after second semester begins, Counselors visit district middle and parochial schools to present information to eighth-grade students about future course selection at RAHS. RAHS Counselors also present information to parents and/or guardians of current eighth-graders at 8th-Grade Parent Night at the high school in February regarding incoming-freshmen registration for classes at RAHS for the following school year.

Once student course selection information has been submitted to the Counseling Office, RAHS staff builds the master schedule. Typically, students will have access to view their next-year schedules on Skyward in late May or early June; student schedules will again be available for students and families to view on Skyward during district-wide registration in August. 8th-Grade students will receive printed copies of their freshmen schedules at school in June and again during freshmen-only first day orientation in late August or early September.
