Dear 8th Grade Families,
As we begin preparing for the exciting transition to high school, we are pleased to share helpful resources from West High School Counseling Department to support you and your student during this important time.
The move from middle school to high school is a big step, and having the right information can make all the difference. West High counselors have created a comprehensive Course Selection Hub designed specifically to guide incoming 9th grade students and their families through the process.
You can access these resources here:
These resources include important information such as:
- Graduation requirements and expectations
- Freshman course options and electives
- Planning tools to help students align courses with their interests and future goals
- Important timelines and deadlines
Course selection is a guided, multi-step process that helps students make thoughtful decisions about their academic path, with support from teachers, counselors, and planning tools.
We strongly encourage you to review these materials with your student and begin conversations about their interests, strengths, and goals for high school. Taking time now to plan will help ensure a smooth and successful transition into 9th grade.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Thank you for your continued support!
