Attention Seniors

It's that time of year and numerous admission decisions are pouring in. While it can be an exciting time, it can be stressful if deferred, or the college is requesting a mid-year report. Please keep in mind that mid-year reports will not be available till Monday, February 9th when Semester 1 grades are finalized in Power School and uploaded to Parchment. Please feel free to request a transcript in your Parchment account and choose the option of "Hold for Grades". Otherwise, your counselor will submit a mid-year report through Common App if the college is requesting one on February 9th.


Are you wanting a Q3 or S2 schedule adjustment? Please reach out to your assigned counselor for any adjustments by Friday, January 23rd. We would like to reserve adjustments during the first week of Semester 2 for any necessary level adjustments or credit recovery due to Semester 1 failures. Thanks in advance.

STUDENT SCHEDULING FOR THE 2026-27 SCHOOL YEAR

We hope this message finds you well. Below is important information regarding student scheduling for the 2026-2027 school year.


Background Information

The high school and middle school counselors recently collaborated with department chairs to update the course catalog, departmental offerings, and other scheduling details.


Scheduling Process

We will guide students through the following steps:

  1. Scheduling Assemblies



  • Students attended their grade-level scheduling assembly on Thursday, December 11th. The counselors reviewed graduation requirements, the semester schedule, and other key details.


  • Explore the Course Catalog
    Students should review the courses in the 2026-2027 Course Catalog available on our webpage.

  • Complete the Schedule Form and Review AP Policy
    These forms are for planning purposes only and will not be collected. Forms are located on our webpage.

  • Enter Course Selections in PowerSchool
    After discussions with teachers and parents, students will enter their course selections in PowerSchool (not the parent account). They can complete this at home or school. A "How to Schedule in PowerSchool" video is also available on our webpage. If students are unsure about their choices, they will have the opportunity to finalize them during their counselor scheduling meeting.

  • Attend a Scheduling Meeting with Their Counselor
    Each student will meet with a counselor in small groups (appointment times are posted on the Seaholm Counseling website). During these meetings, counselors will:
    • Review students’ course selections.
    • Audit transcripts to ensure they are on track to meet graduation requirements.
    • Discuss students’ college and career goals.


Scheduling Calendar

Below are the scheduling weeks by grade level:

  • Freshmen: Week of February 2 - February 6
  • Sophomores: Week of February 9 - February 13
  • Mid-Winter Break: Week of February 16 - February 20
  • Juniors: Week of February 23 - February 27


Important Considerations

We encourage students to carefully consider the homework commitments for each course and how these align with their commitments, such as work or extracurricular activities. Course selections have a significant impact on teacher assignments and budget decisions for the school year. Thoughtful planning is essential.

For more details and resources, please visit the Seaholm Counseling Department Scheduling Site - https://seaholm.birmingham.k12.mi.us/counseling/scheduling


Thank you for your support in helping your student prepare for a successful school year.

Please allow 24-hours for attendance to be updated.

In the event of an absence report the following to Seaholmattendance@birmingham.k12.mi.us

  • Appointment - a doctor’s note is necessary for your child to be considered Excused Exempt (EE) if at ortho, dentist, pediatrician, etc.

You may attach medical information to this email, or send it in with your student.

Absences (A) or tardies (T or TA) not reported will be recorded as unexcused.


Need Your Student Excused During the Day?

Students leaving early must visit the Attendance Office to get a pass to leave class prior to the beginning of that class period.


We will NOT be interrupting instruction and student learning for early dismissal.


Students with dismissal passes will need to sign-out in the Attendance Office before leaving the building.


Students arriving late or returning to school will use the Late/Tardy Entry QR Code posted throughout the building to log the arrival. The Google email confirmation will be the classroom pass.

Covid Guidance Update

Recently, the Oakland County Health Division updated its’ Covid guidance. A 5 day isolation is no longer required. Students and staff may return to school when their symptoms overall have improved, they do not have fever and they have been fever free for at least 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medications such as Tylenol (acetaminophen) Motrin or Advil (ibuprofen). Masking is not mandated, but strongly recommended by the county for 5 days when returning to normal activities to prevent the spread of illness to others. Proper hygiene (cough & sneeze etiquette) and handwashing (20 seconds, all hand surfaces) preventive strategies to prevent the spread of illness to others.
