Class Registration

Registering a student at Bartow High School is the process of meeting with the appropriate counselor and selecting class/course preferences.

Registering never guarantees placement in classes/courses.

Before a student registers, a student must have completed the enrollment process. As counselors may not be readily available, it is encouraged that an appointment is scheduled with the appropriate counselor to register for classes/courses. You may do this by emailing the counselor or calling the guidance office at (863) 534-7405.

Orientation

Orientation is the time when students, who have enrolled and registered at BHS, may come and receive their class schedule for the year. During this time, students may meet their teachers, review bus schedules, open lunch accounts, purchase physical education uniforms, tour the school and parents may apply for their yearly access to the Parent Internet Viewer.

Orientation dates and times are TBA annually.

Students will not be permitted to enroll or register during the scheduled evening Orientation times. Students may complete the enrolling and registration process prior to or after times set aside for evening Orientation.
