Course Verifications for the 2026-2027 School Year

Course verifications for the 2026–2027 school year will be sent to students’ GAPPS email accounts after March Break. During the course verification period, students can request changes to their course requests. It is very important that your child considers their selections very carefully. Elective course changes will not be made after this final verification process.

Please note that all courses are requests and are not guaranteed. Courses are prioritized by grade. If you are reaching ahead, there is no guarantee that you will be registered in the reach-ahead course (e.g., a Grade 11 student requesting a Grade 12 course, or a Grade 10 student requesting a Grade 11 course).

You and your child may want to revisit the UHS Course Calendar at https://app.myblueprint.ca/public/courses/yrdsb/unionville1 to review course descriptions and prerequisites, as well as take time to research post-secondary program options.

Resources to help with this include:

1. My Pathway Planner (post-secondary tab)

2. https://www.ontario.ca/page/my-career-journey

3. ouinfo.ca

4. ontariocolleges.ca

5. https://www.skilledtradesontario.ca/

The following questions can guide conversation about post-secondary interests and options.

What career paths are you interested in?

What are your strengths and interests?

What subjects or areas of study are you interested in?

What do you consider happiness and success?

What courses would you like to take to further explore your interests?

Are you interested in taking a gap year after high school graduation, or continuing your high school studies?

Who can you talk to or consult with at school about exploring academic and career paths?

What experiential learning opportunities (such as internships, volunteering, etc.) would you like to try?

Which post-secondary open house events and information fairs would you like to attend?

2026–2027学年课程确认通知

在三月春假（March Break）之后，学生将通过其 GAPPS 学生邮箱收到 2026–2027 学年的课程确认单（Course Verification）。在课程确认期间，学生可以申请对已选择的课程进行修改。请您和孩子务必认真审核所选课程，因为在此最终确认流程结束后，选修课将不再接受更改。

请注意，学生目前提交的课程仅为申请，并不保证一定能够注册成功。课程安排会优先考虑学生本年级的需求。如果学生希望提前修读高年级课程，也无法保证一定能注册成功。（例如：11年级学生申请12年级课程，或10年级学生申请11年级课程）

建议您与孩子一起重新查看UHS 可选课程目录（Course Calendar), 了解课程介绍及先修要求，同时也可以花时间了解未来的升学方向和高等教育项目。

建议你可以跟孩子探讨这些问题：

你对哪些职业发展路径感兴趣？
你的优势和兴趣是什么？
你对哪些科目或学习领域感兴趣？
在你看来，什么是幸福与成功？
你希望通过选修哪些课程来进一步探索自己的兴趣？
你是否有兴趣在高中毕业后选择间隔年（Gap Year），或继续完成高中学业？
在学校里，你可以和谁交流或咨询升学与发展路径的探索？
你希望尝试哪些体验式学习机会（如实习、义工等）？
你希望参加哪些大学的开放日或高等教育升学展？
