home to get them signed by a parent. If
you haven't seen it, please be sure to ask them for it. If you have any questions, please do not
hesitate to contact me.
Also, all students in grades 8-12 have completed their 6-year
plans. We look at the current schedule
and then plan what they think they might want to take between now and their
senior year along with what they might want to do the first 2 years after HS
graduation. Those plans can be viewed
at www.missouriconnections.org. Each student has their own log in
information. These plans are evaluated
every year during this time when we do scheduling.
Have a restful summer and I'll see you next year!
