8th Grade Lesson: High School Enrollment

Second semester is a busy time for our 8th grade students as they begin the transition to Lee’s Summit West High school.  To help with the process, we--along with the LSW  counselors--will be working with students in different core classes to explore high school options and complete a personal plan of study.  This personal plan of study will help students plan for classes and programs at the high school level.  This is not a permanent class selection, but as we tell students, it is a “rough draft” of the future.  Many classes and programs offered have certain prerequisites, and we want to make sure every opportunity is available to all students.  Final 9th grade class selections will be made when you meet with your child’s counselor/advisor on February 6, 2024.

We thoroughly enjoy working with your children on this transition to high school. If you have any questions, feel free to call the guidance office at 816-986-1378 and talk to Dr. Bickelhaupt, 8th-grade Counselor.
