Seniors, are you going to City College this fall? Do you need help registering for classes?

Registering early increases your chances of getting the classes you need. So you’re invited to come to an Early Registration Party on June 25^th.

Remember, you must complete all steps of the enrollment process by June 13^th. This includes: applying for admission, taking the placement test, completing the new student orientation, and meeting with a City College counselor.

Also, please remember to bring your City College ID and Initial Education Plan along with your Bump Up Letter, if you have one.  SFUSD and City College counselors will be at the party to help you register for classes.

Pizza and snacks will be provided.

The City College Early Registration parties are on Tuesday, June 25, from 2:30 -7:30 pm at Washington, Burton, Galileo, and  Mission High schools, and at the City College campus on Ocean Avenue.

May 31, 2013 will be a full school day. May 31 had been scheduled as a half day due to budget cuts. However, based on increasing stability in the state’s finances due to Proposition 30, SFUSD is reducing the furlough days scheduled for this year down to only one day. This means that May 31, 2013 will be a full day for students and staff. Next year there will be 180 full school days and no furlough days for staff
