Weekly Updates from Big Walnut High School
February 22, 2019
Another week in the books! The end of third quarter is just two weeks away. Please check in with your student(s) and make sure they are taking full advantage of our Eagle Time on Tuesdays to stay on top of their courses. Also, please remember scheduling for next school year is currently underway. If you haven't already, please discuss future plans with your son or daughter to ensure they are making the best decisions for next year's schedule.
As always, please don't hesitate to reach out to your child's teachers, school counselor or the administration if you have any questions or concerns. Feel free to contact the main office at 740-965-3766 between the hours of 7:00 and 3:15.

Updates from the School Counseling Office
Scheduling Information for 2019-2020:
Parents and students should take some time to look at the scheduling request packets that were passed out recently during class meetings. Students are encouraged to talk to their current teachers about choices in particular subject areas and if a student chooses to take an advanced class, they MUST have the "Advanced Course Request" form signed by BOTH a teacher in the subject area and a guardian. All students will have a 1:1 conference with their counselor to schedule.
Current 9th grade students who took a middle school class for high school credit, will also receive an additional document asking families to decide if the student will keep the letter grade (which is what all students have by default) or if they would prefer the letter grade be changed to a "P" for passing. Details are explained on the document but it must be turned in by the end of the student's 9th grade year.
All student requests will be completed by spring break and students will receive their schedules in August.
