8th Graders Scheduling for High School
HS Scheduling
On Monday, 1/9/17, eighth grade students were asked to take a letter home to their parents regarding High school scheduling. The high school counselors will be at SMS on January 20th and January 27th to present an overview of the course selection process to the eighth grade students. Following the presentations, students will need to discuss course selections with their parents. Families may access the SHS Program of Studies online, as there will not be a booklet printed as in the past. There will be a meeting for eighth graders and their parents in the SHS Auditorium on February 2nd at 7:00 p.m. to review information shared with students and answer questions. All course request selections should be completed by February 16, 2017. More information on the scheduling process to follow.
Polaris Field Trip
On January 20th and January 27th, eighth graders will be traveling to Polaris Career Center. The Dragons and Crusaders teams will attend the trip on January 20th and the Pirates and Vanguards teams will be attending the trip on January 27th. During the field trip, students will tour the Polaris Career Center facility and learn about the wide array of educational opportunities/programs available.
