The Sherwood way: Rigor for each Respect for each Reach out to each Sherwood High School Class of 2022 The Sherwood way: Rigor for each Respect for each Reach out to each

Tonight we will … Discuss the four-year educational program at Sherwood High School Prepare students and parents for the transition from middle school to high school Provide an opportunity to attend the Course Fair to learn about academic programs and meet some Sherwood staff.

At Sherwood… We focus on academics so students leave high school prepared to do whatever they want to do (open as many doors as possible). We want students to be well-rounded by providing opportunities for self exploration beyond the classroom through athletics, community activities and extracurricular programs

What Courses Should Students Take? Students should plan their schedules keeping the end in mind (College, Career, Military). What are some of your goals and interests? What am I good at? What drives me to success? What do colleges want me to take in high school and what grades do they expect? Students should take courses that challenge them the most. Rigor is different for each student Never be satisfied with status quo and always strive to move to the next level

What Courses Should Students Take? Students’ schedules should contain Honors and possibly Advanced Placement (AP) courses. At Sherwood, students will take honors classes because they are built into the schedule. Most colleges look at the level of rigor students take in high school Students must complete 22 credits (28 possible in a full-time four-year program). Students should consider career programs that enhance their academics.

Courses for Graduation English (4 credits) Social Studies (3 credits) Science (3 credits) Math (4 credits in high school) Technology (1 credit) Fine Arts (1 credit) Physical Education (1 credit) Health (1/2 credit) Program of Study Foreign Language (2 credits), and/or Career & Technology Program

Preparing for High School Have a positive attitude towards achievement: Do well in class and get good grades; high school courses will become permanent on your transcript. Make good choices about your classes for next year. Consider where you want to be as a senior and map out a four year plan.

Preparing for High School The biggest thing you can do on your own is to read. Reading gets better the more you do it. It builds vocabulary and critical thinking. These, as well as the general knowledge you build, are critical for academic and professional success. Embrace responsibility: hand in homework, make up assignments, take advantage of reteach/reassess opportunities, attend classes and get to class on time, manage time wisely.

Preparing for High School Develop positive relationships with teachers and ask for help from them if needed. It is important to build a strong foundation. Get to know your counselor and administrator. They can be a big help and support. Get involved in clubs and activities that let you explore your interests. Keep track of your accomplishments, activities, experiences and service because you will need these as you build your resume for college or career.
