Attn. Laurel Heights Families – Course Selections Open Feb. 7th

Posted February 6, 2023

Dear Laurel Heights Families,

Course selections for the 2023-2024 school year are open from Tuesday, Feb. 7th until Friday, Mar. 3rd.  This year, students will use MyBlueprint to plan and select their courses, with help from the Laurel Heights guidance staff.

As part of the course selection process, students are required to provide a parent/guardian email when submitting their course choices.  Please ensure your student has your up-to-date email address, as MyBlueprint will send you a confirmation email to approve your student’s submission.  We ask that you take time to review your student’s choices with them before confirming, since making changes later on can be very difficult.

Guidance staff are available to meet with students during course selections to assist with course choices and post-secondary planning. Students are encouraged to book appointments with their counsellor through the school website prior to the deadline on March 3rd.

Thanks from the Laurel Heights Guidance Team
