Forecasting

Curriculum Guide (click here) (for School Year 2024-25)

• During forecasting, students make course choices (also called course requests).

• Sheldon uses student requests to create the Master Schedule of all classes offered. Therefore, students must accurately choose courses and commit to them. 

• To simplify the process for incoming Grade 9 students, we have preloaded most core classes (Math, Science, English, Global Studies). 

  • We can make adjustments as needed to preloaded classes.

  • Do do this, we use placement data, teacher recommendations, and the number of courses being offered. 

• Students are not guaranteed their first choice for some classes, and therefore, need to list alternates. 

• 4J School District requires that all 9th grade students are enrolled in a full schedule (no free periods).

• 8th Grade Family Night Slideshow
