Sophomores
Welcome, Class of 2027!
Course Selection for Next Year
Before Course Selection, students will hear from their teachers about course offerings during C^3 Day (Curriculum, College & Careers), and they are encouraged to talk with parents, siblings and teachers about possible course options.
Students will choose their classes through the Course Planner in SchooLinks. Please contact your child's counselor with any questions.
Financial Aid & Post-High School Planning
The Financial Aid Process — Presentation (45 minutes – 1 hour) DATE TBA
This session outlines the general financial aid process and provides insight on how financial aid works, how to apply for it, student eligibility, and how it can be used to help pay for college. It introduces the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) along with summarizing state and federal aid programs among other topics.
Career Exploration
Go to your wcusd200.org bookmarks and choose the SchooLinks log-in.
In February, counselors work with Juniors to further explore the world-of-work through a presentation and the SchooLinks online Career Exploration program. Students learn about the upcoming SAT, how to search for 2-year and 4-year programs (community college, trade school, university) and complete a grade-level appropriate lesson of their choosing. Students are encouraged to return to their SchooLinks portfolio frequently to complete more lessons and use the SchooLinks tools to prepare for life after high school.
