Westview Course Registration

It’s time to start selecting courses for the 2026-2027 school year. The Course Request Window will open by grade level according to the dates below. Please make sure to log into your Synergy/StudentVue account to select your courses during your course request window:

• Current 11th graders: January 31 - February 5

• Current 10th graders: February 7 - 12

• Current 9th graders: February 21 - 26

As students in each grade level are selecting courses, we may find that some Electives are reaching a maximum capacity based on class size limitations. These courses will close for registration for the next grade level, and we will add them to an interest list. Students can indicate their interest in taking the class on the Course Interest List if any spots become available.

In an effort to build our CTE pathways, certain courses will be designated for freshman and sophomore students. Honors Introduction to Engineering Design, Honors Principles of Engineering,

Honors Principles of Biomedical Science and Business Principles & Strategies will be reserved for freshman and sophomore enrollment. Should a Junior or Senior want this course, they should indicate their desire to take the course on the Course Interest List.

This newsletter has valuable information that will be helpful in the course selection process. Please check out all of our resources below!

To make an appointment, please select the link based on your student's last name. These appointments are optional.

AVID offers rigorous academic support and strong connections to Westview and our community which is great for all students so we look to include as many students as possible.

Being part of AVID also takes hard work and perseverance so the most important criteria that we look for are determination and strong motivation to attend a 4-year college.

Other criteria we use to ensure AVID is a good fit for students include students who are 1st generation college-going, part of traditionally underserved populations, experiencing circumstances that make achievement difficult, and are academically viable.

AVID STUDENTS ARE:

• Critical Thinkers

• College Bound

• Determined

• Digital Citizens

• Connected

Summer school courses will be offered only for current 9th - 11th grade students who need to make-up a course previously attempted or for students who are behind in credit. Acceleration will not be available. Summer school is not available to current 8th grade students.

What's the difference between College Prep vs. Honors vs. AP courses?

Our recommendation is to not skip a level of math. PUSD does not currently have any approved Integrated Math classes through outside schools or programs that will be accepted for credit. If a student takes something over the summer it will not be on their PUSD transcript. More importantly, if a student signs up for the higher level next year and realizes it was not the correct placement, they are not guaranteed a spot in the previous level, as there may not be space available.

Specific to Integrated Math II: Aside from the mathematical instruction and curriculum reasons against skipping Integrated II, there is a college requirement component, as well. The UC system requires that students take a geometry-based math course as part of their 3-year math sequence. They consider Integrated Math II to be this course in the integrated sequence. We have been advising students against skipping Integrated Math II for this reason in particular. We do not want students to find that when they apply for college that they do not meet the UC requirements because they did not take Integrated II. More information can be found in the UC Counselor Reference Guide.

If you are taking a foreign language course outside of Westview, you will need to complete the Application and Authorization Form for Foreign Language Credit PRIOR to beginning the class.

The California State Seal of Biliteracy is a form of recognition from the State Superintendent of Public Instruction of graduating high students who have attained a high level of proficiency in speaking, reading, and writing in one or more languages in addition to English. It recognizes the value of biliteracy as a 21st century skill.

Students only apply in the spring of their senior year of high school. For additional questions, please visit the CA State Seal of Biliteracy page on our website or speak with your counselor.
