- Individual student/counselor meeting for course scheduling
Course Selection Process for Freshmen
In April, Freshman will have a class meeting with Mr. Michalski and department chairs, where they will hear about their options for courses next year. Each freshman will need to make an appointment with his counselor to discuss his course requests. The requests will be entered on special forms, which will require both parent and student signatures. When the form is returned to the counselor, the requests will be entered into the computer. This process is not technically a registration, but simply an entering of requests. The actual student schedule will be determined during the summer.
The Tentative Course Selection Worksheet was completed earlier this year during the Parent-Student-Counselor meeting. The information on this sheet will be the reference point for discussing the requests for next year.
The options are clearly presented on the course request form, however, calls or visits with the counselor are welcome.
Summer Study
Many students find the first few weeks of summer vacation to be relaxing, fun and exciting. They then begin to get bored with so much free time. While many students work a lot in the summer, others wonder how they can make productive use of their time. One suggestion is to take a course over the summer for enrichment, college credit or both.
Many colleges throughout the country offer courses, workshops and career-exploration seminars to students who are completing freshman year. These summer programs vary in length from one-week programs introducing students to various career fields, to full six to eight-week college credit courses. Costs also vary a great deal. If your son is interested in the possibility of summer study, send him to the counseling center where we have collected information sent to us on dozens of these opportunities.
