Haldane Welcomes Virtual High School for 2010-2011

As you know, the scheduling process has begun for the 2010-2011 school year. Have you considered taking a VHS "net-course?" You can browse the online course catalog here, read the description in our course catalog, or talk to Mr. Alm or Mr. O'Malley to learn more about VHS. VHS courses will be open to Juniors and Seniors who complete the necessary steps outlined on the course registration form.

VHS was recently featured on the NBC Nightly News. View the video here.

We are pleased to announce that this year we will be opening the family portal to the Naviance College/Career counseling software we have used for several years. You may use the Powerschool parent access codes to gain entry into this site. It is a powerful tool that manages the college application process, allows you to complete personality profiles, learning style inventories and match them with potential careers and college majors. We will be using this tool in the 9th grade and in the SAT prep course. It is linked here as well as on the website under "Parents."

The H.E.A.R.T. Program runs every Tuesday and Thursday throughout the year from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. in room H110. All students are welcome to attend for extra help in any subject. Don't forget that in addition to H.E.A.R.T., extra help is available from individual teachers during 10th period by appointment.

Welcome back to school! Did you know that parents can access "real time" attendance and grading information via our Powerschool Parent Portal? You can even set it up so that you receive regular e-mail updates so that you never have to actively check the site. Call or e-mail the school for your access codes today!
