Huntsville City Schools schedules Curriculum Showcase, boosts outreach and free parking
Summary
District announced its Curriculum Showcase at the Von Braun Center to promote registration and program options for families, with free downtown parking provided by the city.
Huntsville City Schools told the board it will hold its annual Curriculum Showcase on a Saturday in February (date not specified) from 9 a.m. to noon at the Von Braun Center East Hall to showcase academic and CareerTech offerings and kick off registration.
District staff said the event will include booths from all secondary schools and departments, breakout sessions on dual enrollment, Virtual Academy, AP and honors courses, magnet programs and Excel prep, and performances by district fine-arts groups. The district is advertising the event in English and Spanish and publicized it across social media and school newsletters. The city has granted free parking in the deck across from the Von Braun Center for the event.
Staff indicated counselors will begin visiting classes the Monday after the showcase to talk with students about registration. Registration in PowerSchool is scheduled to open Feb. 18; the district requested registration forms be returned by March (date not specified) and entered into PowerSchool by March 28, with changes allowed through April. Staff said the showcase often helps families find appropriate schools as students transition between grade spans and that community partners, including local mental-health providers and the police department, will attend to explain supports.
Board members had no additional questions during the presentation.
