The Course Planner area should be created in 8th grade and then updated throughout high school as you continue to explore your interests and grow within your academics.
Keeping your Course Planner up to date helps you:
Be responsible about knowing your own graduation requirements and if you're on track to graduate
Speak with and ask questions to your teachers about courses you're interested in
Know which courses you're interested in registering for when you meet with your School Counselors for registration
Plan out course pathways, for example if you want to take Nursing Fundamentals, knowing you need to take Health Science 1 & 2 before and planning when you'll take those prerequisites
Plan out an early graduation if you're interested in graduating a year or a semester early
