Good Evening Shark Families:

Final student course requests for the upcoming school year (2022-2023) were due today.  Your student can view the courses that they have currently requested in their student HAC account.  Students should verify course requests for accuracy.  As we begin to build the master schedule, it is imperative that these course requests are as accurate as possible.  If an issue is identified, your student should contact their guidance counselor as soon as possible but no later than April 14, 2022.  Requests for changes will no longer be accepted after April 15, 2022 until schedules are released in early July.

We are excited to announce two new counselors in addition to our current guidance team.  The Alpha distribution is as follows:

Welcome Mrs. Mary Rose Kaplan (A-ED)

Welcome Mrs. Kimberly Grillo (EG-LEA)

Mrs. Lombardi will continue to serve students with the last name ranging from (LEB-RES).  Please note that Mrs. Lombardi will only be on campus on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Mrs. Socket (RET-Z)

Please see the following document regarding the AP Capstone program at PVHS.

In the 2022-2023 school year, we will be launching The Academy of Future Educators for those interested in a career in teaching.

Below is important information regarding our scheduling process and requirements:

• Advanced Placement Courses are the most rigorous courses offered at Ponte Vedra High School.  Please take great care in selecting these courses and the number of AP courses taken in any given year.  Our website has information regarding Advanced Placement course work:  https://www-pvhs.stjohns.k12.fl.us/apinfo/
• A Modified Schedule is requested when a student wishes to take less than seven (7) courses.  Only seniors are permitted to request a modified schedule provided they have met all graduation requirements (to include courses currently requested).  Students must request a modified schedule through the guidance department no later than May 27, 2022.  Request forms available in guidance for a Modified Schedule will NOT be accepted after this date.
• A Blended Schedule is requested when a student wishes to take a mix of on campus courses and courses taken virtually through SJVS or FLVS.  This option is open to all students.  Students are NOT permitted to take more than three (3) courses virtually.  Students must still be registered for seven courses, unless a senior who will meet all graduation requirements.  Students are to take at least one course virtually to satisfy graduation requirements.
• Our intention is to release student preliminary schedules twice this summer, once in late June/early July and again one week prior to the start of school.  This effort is to address any issues prior to the start of school August 10, 2022 when students will receive their final schedule.  Once students preliminary schedules are released in July, we will not accept requests for reasons of teacher change, period change, lunch period change or changing electives.  Schedule changes will only be accepted for duplicate courses, missing courses, and/or a course level change.
• It is important to review the 2022-2023 Pupil Progression Plan for High Schools as well as our course catalogue.  We will inform parents when these documents are available on our website.

We take great pride in our efforts to create a master schedule that meets the needs of all our students.  Please take the time to review your student’s course requests and contact our guidance department if there are any questions or concerns.  Thank you.

CURRENT SENIORS:

• Senior events are at the discretion of administration, i.e. attendance at Prom and Commencement are contingent on finishing the school year strong and without incident!

Have a great weekend!
