Students and parents, just a reminder that the 4-year plan written on that green paper is due to the middle school by March 1st. But that is the day students enter their 9th grade schedule online, so that is the latest possible due date. I am advising students to bring completed 4-year plans to me by Feb 18th, or Feb. 25th at the latest. A completed plan has all 8 semesters completely filled out, the credits counted, and the credits must add up to 47 or more. If it does not meet these requirements, it is not finished. The paper copy will stay with the school, but in the meantime, students will enter every class listed on that paper plan into a computer website known as IHaveAPlanIowa. By putting a qualifying plan (47 or more credits, all requirements met) online, we will have complied with a state law stating all 8th graders must have a 4-year plan to graduate before they enter high school. We are going to enter our plans starting sometime around February 25th and finishing before Spring Break.
What if you missed the orientation night last week? Well, you missed a ton, but I will try to catch you up. I can meet with parents if they want to, but I will also be meeting with students in small groups during their study hall to try to catch them up to speed. Here are some resources that can help you.....
