Re: going into High School

[Guest guest]

Hi Sandy-

We're going through high school course planning right now, too!

What does your daughter *want* to take? Does she have older

siblings or older friends who can give her some mentoring about

specific classes? (I'm fortunate, Anne has two older brothers each

with a parade of friends through the house on a regular basis...Anne

has pooled their input). Also, in terms of the more advanced or

more rapidsly progressing courses, the teachers in middle school

here must make recommendations for those students they think would

do well in the 'honors' courses (that's what they're called in

Dublin). Finally, the guidance counselors here are very involved in

the course planning and in assisting the students. I'll bet you'll

get more specific information before the end of March (Anne had to

turn her preliminary choices in on 2/14 already!!!)

Hope this helps. Let us know what your daughter decides-

Blessings-
