Jennifer Hurst-Crabb

All continuing Ghidotti students:  I’ve visited all Phoenix classes in the past few weeks, but here are some reminders.

• Continuing Sierra College students begin registering on April 23rd-24th.
• Have you done your pre-registration questionnaire in your My Sierra yet?
• Make sure you know your date and time to begin registration and be on it!  
• If you plan to take a college Kinesiology class, please email Jennifer the CRN and course name. Reminder we can only have 3 Ghidotti students enrolled in each Kin class with the exception of the restricted section.

Current 9th/Rising 10th grade students:

• Refer to your Individualized Learning Plan that we created together in the Fall for class ideas.  
• You can find your ILP in your school Google Drive. It was shared with you and the title is your name.  If you can’t locate it, please email Jennifer [email protected]  or Ms. Shenk-Tiffany at [email protected] so we can share that with you again. 
• Typical college classes to consider for 10th grade include:
  • Visual & Performing Art class
  • Foreign Language
  • Kinesiology
  • Something of interest to explore a career?

Current 10th/Rising 11th grade students: 

• Refer to your ILP for class ideas.
• There is a restricted English 1A section reserved for Ghidotti students. This class meets Mon/Wed 12:30-1:50pm  (CRN 81643)

Current 11th/Rising 12th grade students: 

• Refer to your ILP for class ideas.
• English 1B or 1C is needed to meet your senior year English requirement 

Current 12th/Graduating seniors:

• If you will be attending Sierra College in the summer or fall, you should have applied to Sierra College as a new college student after completing high school.
• If you have not scheduled your spring appointment with Jennifer yet to go over your Fall plan, please email with a few days/times that work for you.

Get ready for In Person classes on campus:

1. Log in to your My Sierra and look up your class schedule to verify your enrollment. This is also where you will find the room number and day/time of your class.
2. Check your email for a welcome letter from your instructor (some classes)
3. Show up to your classes and have a great first day!
4. Make sure you save your syllabus and make note of your instructor’s office availability. 

Get ready for your Sierra College ONLINE course(s):

1. Log in to your My Sierra and look up your class schedule to verify your enrollment
2. Check your email for a welcome letter from your instructor (some classes)
3. Go to the Canvas link (located within My Sierra or from the homepage of www.sierracollege.edu)
4. Canvas is where your class will “live”
5. If your course is already open, review the site and your course syllabus
6. On the first day of classes, make sure you log in to your Canvas and review the welcome letter, syllabus and learn to navigate the class by clicking on all of the links to see where the instructor has posted information
7. Notice the calendar feature. If your instructor uses the calendar this is a nice way to keep track of due dates

If you are still on a waitlist on the first day of classes:

1. Email the professor of the course to request an add code if it’s online; show up to class and request an add code the first day if it’s in person
2. Tell them your name and which course you want to add including the CRN (course reference number)
3. The instructor may give you an add code or they may say to check back in a couple of days.
4. Once you receive an add code you must go into your My Sierra to officially register for the course.  Once you click on the course you will be prompted to enter the CRN to register.

I’ve included some tutorials here that you might find useful in navigating Canvas.
