What are the parent questions?

We are planing for a course registration program(s) for this spring. We want to have an opportunity to provide parents the opportunity find answers and ask questions about courses for their students. This would be current 9th, 10th and 11th grade parents.

We have some ideas what the questions might be but we want to hear from you. What is that big question? What is the information you must have? How can we make any such meeting meaningful to you? Suggestions, ideas?

Email me your questions and thoughts. This will assist us greatly as we plan over the next 6-8 weeks.

A few I know I have each time we go through this:

* How do we know if our student is on track to meet all school, state and college entrance requirements?
* What opportunities are there for online courses at each grade, and how/when do we access them?
* What's the actual process for registration - student's role, parent's role - and timing?
* Are there new courses or changes in what's been offered/expected from years past? (the flowcharts you often provide that show what the course sequence options are)

Thank you for the comments. Keep them coming. We have received several and greatly assisting our planning. We are trying to use these and develop a Q & A section for the popular ones.
