Below is a copy of the planning guide that your student will be asked to complete with your assistance. All course options available to 9th graders are listed. Students will need to select their ENDORSEMENT (from one of the five listed below on the planning guide) and be sure to select the corresponding endorsement course.

A few things to keep in mind:

1. Your student will have an opportunity to sit down individually with a Sotomayor HS counselor to review their selections.
2. If you have specific questions about athletics and/or other extra-curricular activities, we encourage you to reach out directly to those coaches/directors. Contact information can be found below and on our campus website.
3. Alternate course selections are equally important as actual course selections. Please be sure to indicate alternates your student would be happy with having in the event it needs to be placed in their schedule.
4. Athletic rosters are finalized at the end of summer and changes will be made accordingly once counselors receive sports rosters for the fall.
5. For multi sport athletes, the sport that is in season FIRST will be placed in the fall semester schedule.
6. Changes to course selection can be made up until the deadline. Students and parents will receive a Google form at the end of March to request their changes.
7. Information about summer courses offered for 9th graders will be available at a later date. Stay tuned for more information to come towards the end of the spring semester from your middle school counselor/campus.
8. Course selections may be subject to change due to graduation requirements, class size/availability and academic support due to 8th grade STAAR results.

2026 - 2027 Course Planning Guide

The two page document below is our Course Planning Guide for next year. Students will use this to select the courses they would like to take. It is helpful to review and/or print this out prior to your appointment with a counselor. A counselor will go over this guide with you and answer any questions you have regarding courses and endorsement programs.
