FY27 Course Selection
Registration Plan for 2026-2027
Students will begin the process of selecting, being recommended for, and applying for courses for next year in January. Below is our registration plan.
The School Counseling Department will be holding student registration assemblies on:
- Jan 20 – Period 4 – Juniors
- Jan 21 – Period 3 – Sophomores
- Jan 22 – Period 4 - Freshmen
It is imperative that all grade 9, 10, and 11 students attend their assigned assembly time.
Students will be receiving their course selection sheets prior to attending their scheduled grade-level assembly. Students will be instructed to present the course selection sheets to each of their teachers for their recommendations and then take them home to discuss them with their parents and to receive their signatures. The course selection sheets are due back to their period 5 teacher no later than Friday, February 20. At that time, school counselors and data processors will review each student’s sheet and enter the courses into the computer. In April, each student will be given a list with their course requests and will then individually meet with their counselor to finalize their selections for the 2026-2027 school year.
With the extremely large number of students at Park Vista and the sheer number that school counselors have in their student caseloads, personal registration meetings are not being offered through our school counseling office. However, school counselors are available through email and by phone if you have any questions!!!!! If students have any questions, please have them see us before school, during lunch, or after school.

Schedule Change Process
Counselors are unable to make schedule changes by phone calls or e-mails.
***Counselors are available to see students after the schedule change dates (on a first come, first served basis), any day before school, during lunch, or immediately after school. ***
Do not come to the School Counseling Office during class time.
CHANGES WILL ONLY BE CONSIDERED FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
- student is in the wrong level and/or unqualified for the present course
- student has already taken AND passed the present course
- teacher recommendation
- student needs course for graduation (seniors only)
- student has the same class online or in credit lab
CHANGES WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
- student wishes to change teachers or periods for the same course
- electives will not be changed
Please realize that dropping an academic course or reducing its rigor level may jeopardize graduation, admission to a four-year university, and Florida Bright Futures Scholarship or Cambridge AICE Diploma opportunities. By having any period(s) “off” in your junior or senior years, you are LESS COMPETITIVE in the college application and scholarship process. While it is popular to have periods 6 & 7 off in senior year and period 7 off in your junior year…….THIS MAKES YOU MUCH LESS COMPETITIVE IN THE ADMISSION PROCESS!
JUNIORS & SENIORS - If you did not request periods 6 or 7 off last year, we will not be able to accommodate the request now. The master schedule does not have room for you to now move your period 6 and/or period 7 to earlier in the day. The classes you have periods 6 and/or 7 are now full earlier in the day.
