Counselor Corner
Parents:
Dear Parents & Guardians of upcoming 8th graders,
You are receiving this information in preparation for your child to make related arts requests for the 2024-2025 school year.
You have, or will, receive a document from your child's teacher with selected information from the BWMS Program of Studies. It describes how students are placed in core classes, and how they request related arts classes. Please read through this with your student, specifically looking at the descriptions of the courses available to 8th graders. You can access the entire 2024-2025 Big Walnut Middle School Program of Studies on the Big Walnut Middle School web page. There is nothing you need to do at this time but be aware of the process.
The only related arts that are guaranteed are Band, Choir, and Orchestra. Any other request is subject to availability, and your student may be scheduled into a course they did not request.
Please note the timeline:
January 16 through February 6: Ms. Corry Schull (Ms. Corry), MS Counselor, will go into 7th grade classes, review the request process, and collect student related arts requests
March 15: MS letter and student request home to parents for review
March 21: MS letter and student requests returned to the middle school
Mid August: Schedules for 2024-25 available on PowerSchool
If you have questions, please reach out to Corry Schull at the middle school: corryschull@bwls.net
