Course selection for next school year.

Last week the students have started selecting their courses for next year. The student or parent may log in to their Wengage portal. Click on course requests. The main core classes for each grade level have been populated in already. If your student is in a different core class for any reason, please add that class to the course selection, if possible. Mrs. Harp will double check these when the schedules are done.

Students should pick their top 3-4 electives they would like. Rank them with #1 as the most wanted to #4 as, not so much. This does not mean they will be enrolled in those exact courses but Mrs. Harp will do the best she can.

Advocacy teachers are helping students in this process. Please talk to your student to verify they are completing this.

Course catalog and instructions can be found by following the picture.

ICAP

In advocacy students should be working on their ICAP. This is a graduation requirement. The law and a bunch of information is posted on the link below.

*If your student cannot get into their account, their advocacy teacher now has access to reset all passwords. Every class should be working and talking about this at least once a week during that time frame.

This semester we will be kicking it up a notch on ICAP activities thanks to the Gear Up Grant from the K20 Center. These activities are CCGC (College and Career Going Culture). Please know this is NOT all about college, it is about moving out into the workforce after high school and/or post-secondary education whether that includes a Technology Center or any college level education. We are super excited about the spring events we are planning.
