Scheduling

The high school counselors will meet with current 8th Grade students on Tuesday, February 6. During this meeting a presentation will highlight the Curriculum Planning Guide, graduation requirements, the scheduling process, and all courses offered at the high school. Students will be invited to a Google Classroom, '2028 - Counseling Office.' This classroom will allow students to access all needed scheduling materials and tools as well as begin to share information about the high school via website links.

The high school counselors will be taking the entire 9th grade class on a tour of the Eastern Westmoreland Career and Technology Center (EWCTC) on Friday, February 2 from 11:00 a.m. to 2:15 p.m. Once at the EWCTC, students will visit the center’s programs. Lunch will be provided at the EWCTC. Students will choose a program and spend additional time learning more about that program and performing hands-on activities. Students will be returning to the high school shortly after 2:30 p.m. Students are asked to wear appropriate clothing on the day of the tour (i.e. no open-toe shoes, no dresses or skirts). Please feel free to contact the Counseling Office at (724) 694-2780, with any questions.

2023-2024 DAHS Schedules were distributed during homeroom today to current 9th-11th Grade students. Please review your schedule. If a scheduling conflict is found, you can complete the ‘DAHS Schedule Conflict‘ form.

 

Utilize this form to request that your schedule be reviewed by the school counselors. Schedule changes will be made if you are 1) missing a core class, 2) missing a graduation requirement, or 3) placed in the wrong level of a class. If you would like to add a class to replace your study hall, a schedule change could possibly be made (keep in mind this must be a 6-day a week study hall).

 

‘Move Up’ Day is scheduled for Tuesday, May 30 during 7^th and 8^th Periods. Students will walk their schedules and spend some time in each Period. More information will be provided.

 

Once you have completed the ‘DAHS Schedule Conflict‘ form, your counselor will contact you after it is determined whether an adjustment can be made to your schedule. Not all schedule conflicts will be revised by ‘Move Up’ Day. The counselors will also have summer hours. To make an appointment with your counselor, please call the Counseling Office at 724-694-2780, extension 3105.
