8th grade students will participate in a series of 4 year planning lessons in the fall semester to prepare them for the course selection process. In those lessons, students were taught about the following topics:

• Lesson 1 - Graduation Requirements

• Lesson 2 - Graduation Required Electives

• Lesson 3 - Endorsements

Students will apply the knowledge they have gained to develop a four-year academic plan during their spring meetings with their counselors. Parents and students are encouraged to regularly review and update this plan as needed to ensure it continues to align with the student's academic goals and interests. Parents will receive an email notification once four-year plans are available for viewing, allowing families to review and request any necessary changes before the May deadline.

There are also several important spring events for parents and students to keep in mind. Eighth-grade students will visit BHS in the spring to become familiar with our campus, explore the opportunities available, and learn more about the high school experience. Later that evening, counselors and staff will host Course Preview Night, where students and families will have the opportunity to explore the courses, programs, and opportunities offered at BHS.
