8th Grade Families,
Individual Graduation Planning (IGP's) has begun for your Rising 9th Grader. On January 17th, your child had their IGP lesson with their Guidance Counselor, Mr. Smith and received their course request form for our March 4th IGP Day at BTMS.
You will receive a prescheduled time slot for the March 4th IGP meeting soon. This meeting should be attended by you and your student. The IGP meetings will be held at BTMS in the Media Center.
Click this link to visit the IGP Program of Studies website with all the course descriptions right at your fingertips! There is also a PDF version in the links below. Peruse this site or pdf with your child to decide what electives they want to take next year. The elective chosen and three alternates are then indicated on their Rising 9th Grade Course Selection Form. If any updated curriculum or course information is published to the High School websites, you will be notified by email.
Please sign and return the course request form with your child no later than Friday, February 7th.
Any questions may be directed to our 8th Grade Guidance Counselor, Mr. Townsend Smith at smithd@fortmillschools.org or his office phone number, 803-578-2973.
