Your CHOICES should take into account personal INTERESTS and academic BALANCE:
CREDITS
Working with your School Counselor to ensure you have the right credits for Graduation and beyond. |
CAREER Orientation

COLLEGE Ambition

CREDENTIALS

Here are the key steps to follow as you make your decisions:
REVIEW YOUR FOUR-YEAR PLAN
Beginning your Freshman year, you started to develop a long-term plan of coursework that included both required courses and those courses that interest you. Review your plan and think about revisions you might make.
REVIEW THE COURSE GUIDEBOOK
The Course Guidebook provides an overview of all of the courses available at Neuqua Valley and the requirements for each.
REVIEW YOUR GRADE-LEVEL COURSE SELECTION SHEET
Each grade level has a guide for courses recommended for, or available to, each of the four grade levels.
Choose the grade level you are moving to next year.

CONTACT YOUR SCHOOL COUNSELOR WITH QUESTIONS
Your School Counselor is an excellent resource after you have reviewed both your Four-Year Plan and the options available in the Course Guidebook. Contact your Counselor as needed to set up an appointment from now until January 30. Counselors will also be meeting with students in February - as needed - to finalize course requests.
Counselors are also a great resource for Four-Year Plans, Schoolinks, Dual Credit, AP classes NCAA Eligibility, and post-high school planning. View their sessions from Academic Planning Night.

PREPARE FOR COURSE RECOMMENDATION DAY
Course Recommendation Day at the high school is Wednesday, January 12th. One of the best ways we can support you is to provide guidance in each of your classes about the options that exist in that department the following year. Courses are often best taken in a certain order or sequence. Your current teachers will walk you through options on this day.
For the incoming Class of 2026, departmental information will be available at our 8th Grade Open House on Wednesday, February 2nd: LEARN MORE
