Current 8th Graders

Welcome to Willow Glen High School! Here are some important dates and information regarding the class scheduling process. We look forward to welcoming you in person to WGHS!
    • WG Middle School students coming to WGHS next school year will be visited in their Social Studies classes. The dates for WGMS are scheduled for March 7-9. John Muir Middle School students planning to attend WGHS will be scheduled April 5, 2017. Private school students will be contacted as to the date and time for their course selection. Students will be guided in completing the Schedule Selection Form and submitting a copy. They will also receive a copy to take home to discuss with their parent/guardians.  A traditional schedule for an incoming ninth grade student resembles the following:
        • English
        •  Math
        • Science--Biology, Bio Medical or Honors Biology
        • Social Science--World Geography
        • Physical Education
        • Elective ___________
      • This is only a sample plan. Intervention, Acceleration or Individualized Education Plans require additional scheduling considerations. 
    • Schedule Selection Forms are due to the WGHS main office by April 7, 2017. We will accept forms up to April 21, 2017. Students admitted to WGHS later in the year are encouraged to turn in course selection forms as early as possible. Forms may be dropped off in the Main Office or mailed to:
                                               Schedule Selection WGHS
                                                   2001 Cottle Ave
                                                   San Jose, CA 95125
    • We will have a Welcome to WGHS night on May 18 at 5:00 pm in the school gym.  All new students to WGHS and their families are welcome to attend.  The presentation will cover sequencing of courses throughout high school, graduation requirements and other aspects of attending high school.
    • Final scheduling occurs at the end of Summer when resources are finalized. A schedule pick up date will be posted when that date is finalized. Students unable to pick up their schedules in person on the pick up date will pick up their schedules on the first day of school in the WGHS Library. More information about this will be updated as the date approaches.
    • Student and parent initiated schedule change requests will be accepted for up to the first 3 days of the academic year. Requests submitted after that time will not be accepted. All requests will be responded to within one week of being submitted unless the demand of requests requires additional processing time
    • Students are encouraged to choose their classes wisely. Students who attempt to drop a class outside of the school policy are subject to a drop F grade being entered on their transcript.
