notes from the ptsa president: the best fit
|
As we return from a well-deserved winter break, it's time for students to begin contemplating their future ... or at least
their classes for the next school year!
Curriculum Night --
now rescheduled for Thurs, Jan 12, due to inclement weather -- details the substantive differences between the levels of core subjects. The evening
launches the registration process for 2017-18. You are invited,
together with your student, to come listen and ask questions.
Students will meet with their counselors over the next month or so to discuss schedules. Current teachers can also help with recommendations for the next class to take.
The goal: Determine the "best fit" classes and schedule.
You probably hear this term often at Langley. Whether it's selecting the best-fit classes or the best-fit college, the aim is for students to consider what
they
are most passionate about. Further, we all must be mindful of maintaining a healthy balance between classes, sports, activities, work, and family time. Ideally, students should feel both challenged and successful. It's a tough balance to strike, so encourage your student to choose classes carefully.
Final course selection will begin later this month. If you have questions, email or call your student's counselor. You can also email your child's teachers to discuss their recommendations for next year's classes.
~ Chrissie Lavin, PTSA President
