The students returning to Clay for the 2012-13 school year have begun requesting classes for next year.  Most of the juniors have met with their counselors and completed their requests.  The sophomore and freshmen students will be requesting classes beginning February 13 and lasting until the end of the month.  Student course requests can be viewed in the Parent and Student Portal of PowerSchool.  The process is fairly simple to view the course requests.  After logging into the Portal just click the “Class Registration” icon located in the upper right hand corner.  Another page will open with the words “View Course Requests” in blue.  Click on these blue words and all the courses your son/daughter has requested will be displayed.  Please examine and discuss their choices and contact his/her counselor if you have any questions.
