GENERAL INFORMATION FOR CREDIT COURSES FOR INCOMING 9TH-12TH GRADERS
Brophy’s credit course program is for students entering ninth thru twelfth grade. No exceptions will be made. The summer curriculum is designed for high school students to gain needed credit for graduation requirements and/or free up room in their academic-year schedule to allow participation in 7th-period athletics and activity based classes, have a study hall, or be able to take multiple elective or AP courses. Grades [A-F] will be utilized in these courses and posted on the student’s official transcript. Any general questions about summer school academic courses can be sent to Mr. Seamus Walsh at swalsh@brophyprep.org.

REGISTRATION LINK
The Registration link will be active at 8:00 a.m. on Wednesday, February 20th.
Online Directions:
Students will use their NetClassroom Username and Password to login to the registration site. Once in, students will only see courses available to their grade level. Course capacities have been set within the online system, so if you are told a class is full, it’s full. If you select a course and pay the full tuition amount online, you are enrolled in the class. As this system is not tied directly into Brophy’s school management system, there can be a delay of several days between the time a student registers and sees his enrollment in the 2012-2013 Summer Session on NetClassroom.9th thru 12th grade students who are not enrolled at Brophy or have not been accepted to the incoming class of 2015 can inquire as to course availability by contacting Brophy’s Scheduling Office at 602-264-5291 x6338 or scheduling@brophyprep.org.
