With the transition to HS almost upon us, I will be helping students with this process. Recently, I was able to visit all of the classes to have them take a career assessment on Career Cruising (in collaboration with their ELA Unit on Career Exploration) that gave them a chance to use a system similar to one they will use in high school called Naviance.
I later went into the classrooms to discuss a lot of HS terminology that they, and you, will be hearing a lot of over the next few months. My goal was to make them more familiar and comfortable with these terms so they would feel less anxious about hearing them in HS. We also discussed upcoming events that includes parent nights and visits from the HS. Those dates are:
Feb 22nd: Rising 9th Grade Parent Night @ Culbreth 6:30pm
Feb 23rd: Carrboro Registration/Open House @ Carrboro HS 6:00pm
Feb 26th: HS Counselors (CHS, ECHS, CHHS) @ Culbreth ~9:14am-10:30am
Mar 3rd: Rising 9th Grade Information Night and Course Fair @ Chapel Hill HS 6:30pm
The next time I'll be visiting the classrooms is on Feb 11th and 12th to do online registration with the students. This is performed via Powerschool so it will be important for your child to know their login information. Do not worry about this registration being finalized at this time. The window for HS registration is generally until mid-March so it's important for them to get started, but it doesn't have to be finalized until that due date. I will let you know when that due date is set.
