Mrs. Meehan and the high school AIG Specialists (Angela Jeffrey and Jennifer Raspet) will conduct individual sessions with AIG students to assist with course selection and develop their high school DEPs (Differentiated Education Plans). Parents and/or Guardians will gather to review ACT EXPLORE test information and be given information on the high school registration process this year. ACT EXPLORE test score reports and test booklets will be distributed to parents. High School Counselors from Hoggard and NHHS will meet with students districted for Hoggard and anyone interested in attending NHHS to discuss course offerings and registration processes, and answer student questions. All planning worksheets, with parent signature, are DUE to your homeroom teacher. Teachers will review planning worksheets and provide input on their recommendations for students’ 9th grade academic classes. Any student missing information from the planning worksheet will meet with Mrs. Turner to finalize course selections. Students will meet in the library during their Social Studies class to enter their courses into PowerSchool. A print out of all course selections will go home for parent review and signature. (McPherson) Friday, March 13th Friday, March 27th Students turn in signed course selection sheets/printouts to their homeroom teacher. Parents who have a question or concern about their student’s course selections after reviewing the course printout should contact Mrs. Turner (ext. 212) or Mrs. Demolina (ext. 213). High school registration closed – signed registration sheets or printouts must be turned into the high schools by this date. We encourage parents to look over this important information, regarding course selections and the registration process, with your children, and to discuss the course options with your students. We hope that when the students return their planning worksheet on February 25th, they will have had these conversations with you and that their course selections will be a result of a collaborative parent/student effort. Please let us know if you have any questions. Thank you, Paige Turner, 8th Grade Counselor 350-2112 ext. 212 brenda.turner@nhcs.net
