Adolescent Brain Development
Your brain begins to change in the back of your brain, in the parts of the brain that control your senses, vision and physical movement. The front part of your brain, the parts associated with planning, emotional control, and problem-solving develop last.
This video does a great job of explaining how your brain is developing and this article also offers some insights.

Scheduling
Starting in January the school counselors began to meet with students for scheduling for the 2022-2023 school year. We started these meetings with Sophomores, followed by Juniors and then Freshmen. These meetings will take place during January and February.
This video can help you understand the scheduling process in Skyward. It is important for students to remember that they need to log into Skyward from their student account to complete their schedule requests. You will not be able to put in your schedule requests on your parents' Skyward account. Please take the time to research the classes that you are interested in. You can talk with teachers or students who have already taken the class to learn more about it, and you can also read more about the courses in our Course Description Handbook.
