Course Selection Information

February 13, 2026

Hello CPHS Students and Parents/Guardians,

Over the last week and a half, Mme. Day and Mrs. Anderson put on presentations for grade 9, 10 and 11 students to go over the course selection process and help students enter their course selections into myBlueprint for the 2026-2027 school year.

Now that presentations are done, we ask all students to finish their selections and submit them by Monday February 23^rd, 2026. (The sooner the better though  🙂)

To complete them, go to myblueprint.ca/ucdsb  (don’t forget the /ucdsb) and log in using your school email address and the password you created last year.  Select “Plan Courses” and enter your selections.  Attached are the “Compulsory Courses by Grade” and “Course Offering Sheet”.  The "CPHS Course Catalogue" with course descriptions can be found in myBlueprint or on the school website.  https://carletonplace.ucdsb.on.ca/for_students/student_services/course_selections

If you require help with this or can’t log in, please stop by the Guidance Office on your lunch, spare or during break.  We are happy to help you make your selections.

Mrs. Anderson, Mme. Day and Ms. Shaw

Hello CPHS Bears,

We have started preparing for the 2026-2027 school year and this week and next we will be putting on grade presentations to have you select your courses.  😊

Attached to this email is the course offerings selection sheet.  Please read it over and start to think about what courses you are interested in taking.  Please remember that you must first select compulsory courses in your grade.  If you are missing other compulsories, you will need to include them as well.  Additionally, you will need to choose electives and alternates (back-up choices).

Compulsory courses per grade:

Grade 10: English, Math, Science, History, Careers & Civics (Careers & Civics and History in French + FIF2DF + PPL2OF or PAF2OF for FI students)

Grade 11: English, Math (+FIF3UF + CHC2DF for FI students)

Grade 12: English (+FIF4UF for FI students)

A note for students selecting COOP: If four credit co-op is part of your plan for next year, we will need FOUR alternative choices, please.

A note for grade 11’s entering grade 12: If you're on track for 24 credits by the end of this year (eight from grade 9, eight from grade 10, and eight in grade 11), then you may be hoping for a spare in each semester.  If this is the case, then you may want to request just six courses (+ alternatives) for next year.  Remember to consider possible required courses for post-secondary programmes. (You need 6 grade 12 U or M level courses to apply to university in Ontario or to a Bachelor Program at a College).

What can you do right now to prepare for our visit?

1. Look over the attached course selection sheet and start thinking about which courses you need/would like.
2. Check that you can still log into myBlueprint.  myBlueprint.ca/ucdsb

Thanks in advance for your help.

Mrs. Anderson, Mme. Day and Ms. Shaw
