Hon Health B hard to get into this year?

| My 10th grader was unable to enroll in Honors Health B for the upcoming year. He took Hon Health A last summer online but couldn't do B this summer due to some scheduling issues. I was surprised he wasn't able to get the class this coming year. I'm wondering if it's because they're prioritizing students who will graduate earlier or if he didn't get it because he only needs B instead of the full year of health. Are other kids having trouble enrolling in Hon Health B? |

| Have your kid contact their school counselor to sort this out. If they only need half sem health, they need to fill in other sem with another half year class. |

| Can he do it next summer? Otherwise he'll have to fill in the year with a semester elective, which might be tricky. |

OP here. Yes, my kid will have to ask the counselor. He is enrolled in a semester class to fill out the year and now in his backup semester class -- he's not interested in either of those classes but he just picked them to fill out the year on the assumption that he'd be in the health class. Just wondering if others got shut out of health. |

If nothing else works out, he'll have to do it next summer and find something else to fill in that yearlong slot this year. |

It's not his schedule, it's just his course requests which show what he's enrolled in (not the specific teachers or periods). It's in ParentVue/StudentVue. |

If it’s not in the course requests, then he didn’t request it. There must have been some mistake, either his or the counselor’s. Nobody knows whether there’s room for him at this point, because classes won’t be assigned until August. Now, this year’s seniors do have priority for registration in Health B because their opportunities to take it were limited, so some underclass students may get shut out when classes are assigned in August. But the fact that it’s not even showing as requested suggests he somehow wasn’t registered for it. I’d have him contact the counselor. They may not answer right away, but most are working occasionally over the summer. |

Another vote for contacting the counseling office/counselor. It may be a mistake. My kids' high school has a Google form students are asked to use for making a course change request. The guidance dept emailed the parents recently asking students to check course requests on StudentVue/ParentVue and submit change requests through the form. Other high schools may ask your child to contact their counselor directly. My kid was placed in course he didn't request. In our case, it was quickly fixed. |

As others said, Class of 2025 is the first class required to take Health B, and the class was not available at all in most schools until last summer.
If a particular high school has a lot of '25 kids wanting to take it in school, it might be hard for lower grades to get a slot. |
