Dear Maisy,

I hope you are enjoying the summer.  Your course schedule for 2015-16 is now ready to be viewed through the Student Portal (http://www.sidwell.edu/students/index.aspx). Once you have logged in, select “Dashboard” from the top banner. Then select “Upper School Schedule” on the left banner. At the top of the screen you will have the option to print your schedule as a weekly grid.  At the bottom of the screen you will see six columns: Course Name, Short Course Name, Teacher Last Name, Teacher 2 Last Name, Semester, and Room.  You will need this information to order books. (See below). Please contact Jane Lenherr ([email-masked]) if you need assistance with logging into Educator Online.

Course Change Requests: As you may guess, course schedules for 2015-16 are extremely tight.  Due to a number of scheduling constraints, students did not always get their first or second choice for electives in Art, History, and Computer Science.  If you were erroneously placed in a class, we will make sure to rectify the error.  As per school policy, we cannot accept requests for specific teachers.  If you would like to request a change for an elective, please download the “Course Change Form” (www.sidwell.edu/academics/index1.aspx) and scan and email the form to me at [email-masked].  Please bear in mind that it may not be possible to grant your request, given the constraints of individual student schedules and full enrollment in many of the classes.  If a requested elective is full, I can add your name to the waitlist.

Books: Books are available for purchase through the MBS Virtual Bookstore, and all purchases made between July 27 and August 10 will receive free shipping.  To access the bookstore, please log into the Student Portal and select “MBS Virtual Bookstore.”  If you have any questions regarding ordering books online, please contact me.

Students who receive financial aid awards for tuition may receive some assistance to reduce the cost of book purchases.  If you qualify for financial aid, you will receive a letter from the Office of Admissions and Financial Aid informing you of the book grant amount as well as ordering instructions.

Placement Exams: Students who need to take a placement exam may do so on September 2, from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., in room 104/06.  You will report to Ms. Morillas to pick up your placement assessment.  Please email me as soon as possible to let me know which placement you will be taking.

If you need to contact me to discuss your schedule, please email me to arrange a time to speak.  I will be out of the office from August 4 through 18.

I hope you are having a wonderful summer. I look forward to seeing you soon!

All the best,

Min Kim, Ph.D.
