Tips for students:

• Think about your post-secondary plans and what skills and knowledge you need.  For example:
• You want to be an Engineer…4 years of math!
• You want to be a welder….have you taken advanced metals or the prerequisites to get to Advanced metals?
• Are you considering University?  Please consider 4 years of Math and Science and challenging yourself with dual credit or AP classes.
• When forecasting remember to find balance!  Challenge yourself but do not overwhelm yourself!  Choose a schedule that is a good fit for you and your many interests.
• Think about your semester 1 grades. Any D’s or F’s?  Meet with your counselor to talk about how these grade may or may not impact your post-secondary options.
