9th Grade Scheduling

School counselors have met with all teams to assist students with scheduling their elective courses for 9th grade.  If you were absent on the day your team was called or you had not returned your signed pink course selection sheet, you will be called to the guidance office to meet individually with one of the school counselors.

If your parents or teachers wish to change one of the major courses that were originally recommended on your course selection sheet, you must have them complete and sign the purple course override form and return it to the guidance office.  (Override forms are available in guidance.)

CHSW course descriptions are available on our school counseling blog. - http://whmsguidance.blogspot.com/2013/02/9th-grade-program-of-studies.html

You must return your pink course selection sheet (signed by you and your parent) ASAP to ensure that you are able to shedule your first choice courses.  If you have any questions, please speak with your school counselor.

3rd Quarter Progress Reports

Third quarter progress reports will be distributed this Friday, March 8th.

Remember to have your parent sign your report and return it to your homeroom teacher on Monday.

Quarter 3 Progress Reports

Here are some more tips to help you improve your Quarter 3 Grades.

Use Flash Cards. - Flashcards are not just for Elementary School. Use them for definitions, key words from your notes, formulas for Science and Math, dates for Social Studies, foreign language phrases, etc. On one side, write the question and on the other, the answers. You can review flashcards any where;  perfect for the busy teenager.

Pick The Best Study Location - Find a place with few distractions. Let your friends and family members know that it is important that you are not disturbed while in the study zone

Memorize and Understand. - Face it, you’ll probably need to memorize a certain amount of information many of your classes. The key for you will be to remember and understand what you memorize. Generate examples, create mnemonics, make summary notes, identify key words, and self-test to master the material.  Check out http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090226144506AAFGwS1 for some tips other students have mastered to memorize.
