J Term SURVEY

Scappoose High School is excited to offer J Term during the month January.
Our J-Term Survey will be a little different this year. The J Term schedule has been built prior to the survey. We hope this change will allow us to better predict the interest in our classes if students can know what is offered.

The courses that students choose on the J Term Survey will NOT be used for placement into a class. This information is used solely by the SHS counseling department to determine which classes will be offered to students during forecasting in December.
