This document provides guidance for teachers on preparing for and conducting student course registration meetings for the upcoming spring semester. It instructs teachers to: 1) Prepare registration materials for each student ahead of time, including transcripts, graduation checklists, and copies of registration cards. 2) Disseminate registration materials and have students check for accuracy during the first meeting. 3) Help students login to the registration system to select courses, filling out registration cards and entering selections online. 4) Be available to advise students and set up additional appointment times to complete the registration process.

Spring 2018

2. Before First STING Meeting
It’s important to prepare ahead of time, so you are more helpful and efficient
during your STING sessions.
● Receive registration materials from Student Services
● Review student transcripts for obvious errors, FFs, failures, etc.
● Decide on your availability for appointments
● *Make copies of registration cards and transcripts (front/back works well)
● *Complete graduation checklist for each student.
○ Set up your Google calendar/Appointment app/Remind account.
○ Allow 30 minutes for each one.
○ Make use of all those after 4:00 PM time slots, as they will be less crowded!
*Although not required, these steps will make your first STING meeting go more smoothly, and you will not have
to worry about students losing their official materials.

Before you get too excited, remember that sometimes the best laid plans go awry.
● Parents/Students forget their appointment times and are early, or late, or no-shows.
● Multiple appointments overlap.
● Students show up without their planning materials OR without having entered anything
into PowerSchool.
● Students forget their login information.
● Parents and students disagree on course selections.
● It’s crazy busy in the Media Center, and it takes counselors a long time to sign off on
registration courses.
● Teachers forget their appointments. (Oh, yes. It happens!)
