Q2 X-Block Selections Now Open!
It's time to make Quarter 2 X-Block selections for the 2025-2026 school year! We kindly request that students submit their selections by Monday, October 6. Please be sure to review the course guides before ranking preferences; course changes are very limited.
MIDDLE SCHOOL
HIGH SCHOOL
A few reminders about the process:
- Most students are placed in their first or second choice X-Blocks.
- If a course has more requests than availability, a lottery system is utilized to assign students to courses. Selections are not first come, first served. All students who have submitted their preferences have the same likelihood of receiving one of their top choices.
- Many courses are offered in subsequent terms. If you don't get a particular course this time, you'll likely have another opportunity!
