Scheduling for 2023-2024 school year (current 9th, 10th, and 11th graders)
Teacher recommendation window is now open until February 3rd. Teachers should be having honest individual conversations with their students in regards to which course they see them as being the most successful in next year. With that said, we want our students to take risks and challenge themselves academically. A teacher recommendation is a “suggestion” but never final. However, our teachers have been with your student(s) for more than half the year at this point. They know your student(s) work ethic, engagement, grit, etc. They know whether your student will be able to handle the rigors of an Honors or AP course. Like I mentioned before, we never want to keep student(s) from challenging themselves but they need to know what to expect in our higher-level courses and if it is a right fit for the individual student. We have asked our teachers to be honest with each student, not to look at if they can handle the academic rigors, but rather if they can handle the characteristics mentioned above…understanding the time and effort that will go into these courses. Students also need to be an advocate for themselves during these conversations.
On February 8th, the scheduling window will open for current 9th, 10th, and 11th graders on Home Access and students will have until February 22nd to schedule. Below are the dates of when our school counselors will be meeting with students.
