2025-2026 Course Option Selection in MyBlueprint

Course Selections

Previously, HWDSB used Xello to capture student voice through the course selection process; this year, we are pleased to announce that we will be using MyBlueprint. This new platform is a much more user friendly and accurate tool for student options as well as a better program for post-secondary planning and research.

MyBlueprint will not open for student course selection and submission until semester 2.

On Monday, February 10, all Grade 9 students will report to the auditorium during period 3 (senior lunch) to learn about the new course selection platform and to begin entering their course selections.

On Monday, February 10, all Grade 11 students will report to the auditorium during period 4 (junior lunch) to learn about the new course selection platform and to begin entering their course selections.

On Monday, February 10, all Grade 10 students will report to the auditorium during period 5 to learn about the new course selection platform and to begin entering their course selections.

On Tuesday, February 11, we will be inviting all ABPA students to the auditorium for periods 1 & 2 to ensure that their course selections for ABPA are done correctly.

Course selections need to be completed by February 21—there are no extensions to this and the MyBlueprint program will close at the end of the school day (3 p.m.).

Summer school is also something that can be selected through MyBlueprint. Navigate to the “Continuing Education” tab where you can select one online course OR summer coop (civics & careers are taken together as one course). Only ONE summer school course can be selected.

Semester 2 and Timetable Changes

For students wishing to see their semester 2 timetables, we will have a print copy available during your semester 1 period 1 (homeroom) exam day. They will also be available through Digital Document Delivery in Parent Portal at the end of the semester. Please do not email your guidance counsellor for a copy as it will not be provided this way. If your parent/guardian needs access to Parent Portal, contact the main office.

Guidance counsellors will be available during exams days for any timetable concerns—students are welcome to drop in after exams to make any timetable changes if necessary.

At the start of semester 2, guidance counsellors will be unavailable for students on January 31, February 3 and 4; we are only reserving three (3) days for dropping and adding classes (Wednesday, February 5 to Friday, February 7) so students should come to see us before the end of the semester if they are needing to make a change. These dates in February will be on a drop-in basis and no appointments will be made.

If students have a SEE GUIDANCE on your timetable, are missing a class, failed a class in semester 1 or are mistakenly repeating a class, you need to see a guidance counsellor and you will be a priority student.

If students are currently enrolled in a face-to-face class, you are not able to switch that to an eLearning class. As we have said repeatedly, there is limited space in all classes (F2F and eLearning) so not many changes are possible–we are not allowing any “shopping” for courses.

The Student Services department wishes everyone good luck on final evaluations and a successful start up into semester 2.
