As we gear up for Future Ready Week, we are excited to officially kick off our course selection process with students over the coming months.
This week, teachers in every department will show students where their learning can lead, including course sequences, electives, honors and college-credit options, experiences beyond the classroom, and connections to careers and college majors. It’s the perfect launch for course selection, which begins in Advisory on Wednesday for current 11th graders.
To help you make the most of the week, we’ve created the Future Ready Week Family Guide. It’s built around four questions to talk through together at home:
-
What interests me?
-
What do I want to explore?
-
What course opportunities could help me grow?
-
Where could my learning take me?
The guide also includes a simple Learn. Grow. Thrive. checklist to walk families and students through the process:
-
Learn (get ready): Read the District 207 course selection letter, log in to SchooLinks, and browse the Course Catalog.
-
Grow (during the week): Notice which classes spark interest, ask teachers what comes next, and jot down courses to explore.
-
Thrive (after the week): Talk through the four questions together at home, review options in SchooLinks, and prepare for the course selection meeting with your counselor.
Today’s exploring shapes tomorrow’s possibilities. We hope this week sparks great conversations at home!
