Deadline: November 18, 2016 – return completed form to your iPass teacher

November 15, 2016

Students and Parents/Guardians,

It is that time of year again when counselors will be meeting with students to schedule classes for the following school year. We encourage each student to discuss his/her class selections with their families, teachers and counselors.

During the meeting with counselors, the student and counselor will:

·  Develop and/or review a 4-year graduation plan

·  Discuss career interests/goals

·  Discuss post-secondary education goals

·  Review/plan next year’s schedule based on interests, goals, current grades

·  Review/discuss other grade appropriate information (i.e., PSAT, SAT/ACT, State Graduation Exams, 21st Century Scholars, NCAA)

Counselors will meet with every student individually, starting with the current Freshmen class. We ask for your patience throughout this process so we may spend as much time as needed with each student. If you have questions about certain classes or what level of course you should plan on taking, please discuss those options with your current teacher. We also ask that you keep track of your questions/concerns. Please write down all questions that you have for the counselors so when meeting with them we will be sure to cover everything. The counselors look forward to meeting with all students during the scheduling process!

Class Selection Process

As a review, please fill out your paper scheduling form & 4-year graduation plan, including your parent/guardian signature. Return your completed paperwork to your iPass teacher on Friday, November 18th.

Before submitting your completed paperwork to your iPass teacher, please ensure you have submitted your course requests online via your Skyward account.

Go online to the Guidance webpage at http://websites.msdpt.k12.in.us/shguidance/ to view the scheduling video with detailed instructions on how to complete the scheduling process.

We encourage all students to discuss and have parent/guardian signature before turning in their schedule.

Thank you,

The SHS School Counseling Department
