2023-24 Central Bucks School District Program Planning
Central Bucks High School East

Dear Parents and/or Guardians,

Beginning Friday January 6^th through Sunday February 5th, 2023, all secondary students in the Central Bucks School District will be entering their course requests for the following year through the Parent Portal. The 2023-2024 Program of Studies will be posted online on January 2^nd  2023, for you and your students to access. Additionally, the course selection sheet and scheduling worksheet will be helpful tools in this process.

School Counselors will be presenting to sophomores during their Social Studies (10^th grade) courses and to juniors during their English (11^th grade) courses covering both 1^st and 2^nd semester classes through February 7^th. 

During these presentations, the graduation requirements, college requirements and course registration deadlines will be explained.  Students are free to register for courses prior to hearing the presentation and then make changes as needed via the portal or may wait until the presentation if they are unsure of the process.  Watching videos of the course descriptions, may also help students make their course selection decisions.  Videos can be viewed through this Course Descriptions link.

Course verification sheets will be posted on-line through the portal on Friday March 25^th to confirm student course requests.  Students will be permitted to make changes to their course requests until Thursday March 31^th, 2023 by submitting this form Course Change Request  23-24 Through March 31 to their counselor. 

Students will not be able to make changes to these requests after March 31^st, unless it is due to a level change or failure to meet a prerequisite. After March 31^st  in order to request a change, students must submit this form Course Change Request 22-23 April 3rd and Later to their counselor.

We are hopeful that this program allows more opportunities for students and parents to discuss course requests at home with time to read about the many classes offered by the district.  We would also ask if you have any problems, do not hesitate to seek our assistance.
