COURSE SELECTION VERIFICATIONS FOR 2023-24

FIRST SEMESTER GRADES AND EXTENDED STUDY
First semester grades have all been entered and student transcripts are up to date with the credits earned through both second quarter courses and the portfolio defense at the end of first semester. If your student has a mark of "APR" (approaching competency) in any course, they may still work toward demonstrating competency.
Please note that students who either need additional time or still need to make revisions on 2nd quarter work in order to meet competency will need to develop a plan with their teacher to resubmit the work for assessment during their 2nd semester portfolio defense in May (or in March for seniors). We support students who need extended time to demonstrate competency, in alignment with the "not yet" concept, but students who need this additional support must take the initiative to develop a plan with their teacher to focus their efforts effectively. These students are encouraged to work with their teacher during flex each day and/or to stay for additional academic support during Block D if they aren't scheduled during that time.
STUDENTS MAY COMPLETE THEIR LUNCH ORDER FOR THE WEEK BY CLICKING THE BOX ABOVE AND MAKING THEIR SELECTION BY 9:45 A.M. MONDAY MORNING.

CITY OF ST. CHARLES JOB SHADOWING- A CHANCE TO LEARN ABOUT CAREERS AND EARN CREDIT!
Many Compass Academy students have already begun participating in job shadowing through this program, but we are hoping that even more students will participate in this fantastic opportunity throughout the year. In the city's career pathway job shadow program, Compass students can shadow people in many career fields, including engineering, communications, accounting, firefighting, government, law enforcement, construction, forestry, water management, and vehicle maintenance. Students who participate in job shadowing on Wednesdays, and then write reflections about their experiences, have the opportunity to earn credit for career exploration.
Interested students should print and complete the Registration Form and return it to Ms. Ohlson at Compass Academy. Students may also receive a paper copy of this form from Ms. Ohlson in her office.
