Today the students received their high school course selection books and forms. In the computer lab we signed up for their mypassport account. The course selection process will be both done online and in paper form as this is the first year that they have used the online process and well bad things can happen with technology...
I have checked off the course selection level that I would recommend based on the student's performance so far this year and on the information given to me by the high school regarding the level of difficulty each level presents to the students. I have explained to them too that it is important to choose the level that they can be successful at and which lines up with their future career plans. Last week we did do some online activity using the web site careercruising.com and the students are able to access this site at home as well. This site gave them some ideas about possible career choices and lets them know what choices they have to get to that career - be it workplace experience, apprenticeships, college, or university. So take some time and discuss with your child what might be the best choices for them. Feel free to contact me or the guidance office at NGDHS if you have any questions about the level or the process.
Have a good weekend.
Mr. Brooks
Oh yes and there will definitely be a Math Club this Monday for all those kids who just love alternate, corresponding, and interior angles...yay!
