Welcome, New Trojans!

General Program Information

The Grade 9 Course Calendar Supplement 2023-24 provides a description of all Grade 9 Courses offered at Forest Heights.

You can use this Grade 9 Course Selection Worksheet to help you track your choices and have discussions with your parents and teachers about the courses that are right for you.

Once you’ve finalized all your course selections, you will send these choices to us using an online portal called MyBlueprint (see Step 3).

Step 1: Choose Your Compulsory Courses

Students are required to take 8 courses in Grade 9. All Grade 9 students must take the following five compulsory courses:

English (select ENL1WI)
French (select FSF1DI or FEF1DI for Extended French)
Science (select SNC1WI)
Canadian Geography (select CGC1DI ** Extended French students will take CGC1DF for 2023-2024 and then take history in their Grade 10 year, 2024-2025)
Mathematics (select MTH1WI)

Step 2: Choose Your Three Elective Courses

After choosing five elective courses, you will choose three elective courses. All elective courses are “open” level. Forest Heights offers 12 different elective courses in Grade 9.

All students must select three elective courses in Grade 9. Click on the course code to learn more information about each course.

Step 3: Enter Your Courses in MyBlueprint

Once you have used the Grade 9 worksheet to make your plan, you will work with your guidance counsellor and teacher to enter your course selections in MyBlueprint.

Starting in 2023, course selections will be completed in MyBlueprint. Note: You should select the Login using a School Account option. This will allow you to use your WRDSB PAL account login.

Course selection takes place from within the High School Planner page in your MyBlueprint account.

You will receive an error message when you submit if you have selected courses for which you do not have the proper pre-requiste course(s), if you have selected too many/too few credits, or if you have not selected alternate courses.

As this is a new process, we will all be learning together. Please be patient with yourself as you work through it (counsellors are learning too!)
