Student Success Planning Process Attend 8th Grade Tours In late December each junior high will take 8th grade students on tours of zoned high schools. Schedule SSP Appointment with a School Counselor By January 10 each year 8th graders receive directions and links to schedule an SSP. The appointment will be one hour on the high school campus in January, February, or March. Receive the Course Catalog Students in grade 8 will receive a course catalog to take home to parents in early January. Review the catalog and review our Welcome to High School website at BentonvilleK12.org. Attend Parent University Parent University is offered in early January each year. Families in any grade level are welcome to attend and get preliminary information about high school opportunities. More than 12 informational sessions are held on a range of topics and display tables are available to learn about career pathways. Please attend the event at either high school. Staff from both buildings will be present at both events. Attend the Appointment The 8th grade student and one or more guardians should attend the one hour appointment at the high school. Bring the course catalog and any career interest inventory or academic record information that you wish to bring. The student will receive a pass for an excused absence.

#9 Choose Your Core Pathway Choose your core pathway for Pre-AP, AP, IB, and other core courses. #10 Choose Your Elective Pathway Interests
Choose your elective interests. See the pathway charts in the Pathway Planning brochure. See detailed course descriptions in this catalog. These may be your career interests or hobby interests. Choose an interest where you can show commitment to some individual program while in high school. See sample plans at the back of the course catalog. Students may change pathways or explore more than one pathway, but a long-term commitment to at least one high school pursuit is advantageous to the subsequent college or career search.
