Grade 8 Course Registration for HS:
This week, grade 8 students met with department leaders to learn about classes at the high school related to their interests. Our goal is to support students in identifying advanced level courses that they would like to complete at the high school and creating a pathway over the next 4 years to attain that goal. Students completed an interest inventory to identify possible career clusters that they may enjoy in their futures. Then, the students attended two presentations aligned to those areas of interest. Over the next week, students will be working with teachers to review their progress this year to make decisions about course placement for next school year. Registration will occur at school on January 11th. We encourage you to talk with your child about the courses they are interested in taking next year.
DON'T FORGET: Tomorrow, December 22, is a half-day across the District! Have a Happy Holiday!

1. Today (9/6/23): Students and teachers who aren't in airconditioned rooms will take breaks in alternate classrooms, meeting rooms, and spaces being made available so everyone gets out of the heat at some point. Outside activities will be limited. Building administrators will advise staff.
