Dear Parents/Guardians,
Course selection will take place in February. The decision of which courses (and course type) to select should be made with great care. Students will choose their courses online through myBlueprint starting February 6, 2023.
Please use the following checklist to assist you in the Course Selection Process:
- Students will be receiving a presentation on the course selection process through a grade level assembly by the Guidance Department during the week of February 6th. All of the information is posted on the Guidance Website under the “Course Selection” tab.
- myBlueprint login instructions, as well as the 2023-2024 Holy Cross Catholic Academy Course Calendar, can be found under the “Course Selection” tab.
- Students and parents are asked to carefully review the selected courses and indicate they have reviewed and approved the courses by clicking on the SUBMIT button at the bottom of the myBlueprint course selection page. Students are asked to submit a hard copy of the selected courses with the parent/guardian signature to their homeroom teacher.
- Course Selection will ONLY be accessible for students to choose courses from Monday February 6 to Monday February 27, 2023.
Last call for returning grade 12 students or those who have missed the deadline will be from Tuesday February 28 to Friday March 3, 2023.
- In the Spring, your child will have the opportunity to review their course selection during Course Verification. Communication about this will be forthcoming at a later date.
