Course Registration Season Timeline for SY 2024-2025

"COURSE REGISTRATION" = choosing of classes.  For students currently at one of our feeder schools (including Kalaniana'ole), enrollments for the 2024-2025 school year have already been created in our database system and no additional paperwork is required other than a Geographic Exception (GE) Form if applicable.  If coming from a school outside of one of our feeder elementary schools, please see our enrollments page for your next steps.

Late Course Registration for SY2024-25 (OPEN)

Incoming 7th Grade students who were enrolled at one of our elementary feeder schools (or incoming 8th students currently enrolled at Hilo Intermediate as 7th graders) who missed the Early Course Registration window have a future enrollment with us through the pre-transition process that took place last November.  Appropriate placement in required core classes have been made through communication with your current school.  Elective courses have been assigned to students based on available & "still open" electives following Early Course Registration.  No further action is needed on your part. We will see you at Schedule Pick-Up in late-July.

Students who enrolled at one of our elementary feeder schools AFTER "early course registration" in December, or students enrolled at a Non-HIDOE school, private school, out-of-state school , or doing home school, please refer to our Enrollments and Withdrawals page for your next steps in completing registration for the 2024-2025 school year.
