Students will be using Schoolinks to request courses for next school year.  Using this tool, students will create a 'Course Plan' which will help them plan all four years of high school. This helps promote future thinking and helps ensure students are meeting graduation requirements. Creating a four-year course plan can offer several benefits for high school students as they navigate their academic journey and plan for the future. Here are five advantages:

Structured Academic Pathway: A four-year course plan provides students with a structured roadmap for their academic journey. It helps them identify and organize the courses required for graduation, ensuring they meet all necessary prerequisites and fulfill graduation requirements.

Goal Setting and Achievement: Developing a four-year course plan encourages students to set academic and career goals. It allows them to align their course selections with their interests, future career aspirations, and college admission requirements. This goal-oriented approach can enhance motivation and focus throughout high school.

College and Career Readiness: A well-thought-out course plan helps students align their coursework with college and career goals. It allows them to explore and select courses that are relevant to their intended career path, making them more competitive candidates when applying for colleges, scholarships, and future employment opportunities.

Time Management and Workload Distribution: By creating a four-year course plan, students can strategically distribute their workload. This helps them manage their time effectively, avoid overwhelming academic schedules, and maintain a balance between academic, extracurricular, and personal commitments.

Flexibility and Adaptability: While a four-year course plan provides a structured framework, it also allows for flexibility. Students can adjust their plans each year based on changing interests, new academic opportunities, or unforeseen circumstances. This adaptability helps students make informed decisions and navigate changes in their academic journey with greater ease.

Overall, a four-year course plan serves as a valuable tool for high school students to optimize their academic experience, set and achieve goals, and prepare for future educational and career pursuits.
