The new program for the schools to use this year is called Skyward. Previously it was called Powerschool ASD400.
I am very familiar with Skyward, I have been to training classes and I use it every day. Elementary schools were the first to go live with it, then the Jr highs and then the high schools and then all the schools will be using it in the Alpine School District.
This year the High School students are registering for their classes using Skyward at home on their own time with their own computers. They have an assembly and then the portal opens and they have one week to sign on and register for their classes for next school year.
9th grade was the last to do this and Kelsi had her assembly on Friday and Monday the portal opened. She had heard that the good classes were filled up and it would be hard to get what she wanted.
I switched shifts with Kjristina so I could get off at 1:30 and Kim went and got her at 1:05.
She wanted to be right on to get her dance class with Janica Hayes, Kadens mom, and she is the the dance teacher at Westlake and the dance team coach.
She did it. By 2:30 Kelsi was done and had all her classes. She was smart and signed up for her electives first. That is what goes first and then she hurried up and signed up for her math class. She got one of the last 3 seats. She heard that her friends did not get into Geometry and they have to take Algebra again.
These are her classes for next year, Earth Sys, Foods 1, Photo 2, World Civ, World Geography, Geometry, PE Skills, Seminary, Comp Tech, English and Dance 2.
She is happy to get her classes but has friends who are staying at Willowcreek and then going on to Lehi and she is unhappy about that. She wishes the boundary lines were different. She will be attending Westlake which is a brand new school this year graduating it's first senior class in May!
