Secondary Schedule Planning Well Underway
How does your student end up with their course schedule? It is a cycle that repeats each year. As with any cycle, one step informs the next one.

STEM begins this cycle each Fall asking teachers if they would like to propose any new courses for the following school year. If so, DCSD has a process that includes identifying the title, syllabus and other details and submitting it for approval. Students can also propose a course and find a willing teacher to sponsor and submit the necessary paperwork. Click here to read more
