Sophomores
Welcome, Class of 2027!
Course Selection for Next Year
In early December, the school counselors meet with juniors during their US History classes to finalize their Course Selection for 12th grade. 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.
Parents, please have them choose their classes through their PowerSchool portal. Please contact your child's counselor with any questions.
Follow the steps to prepare for the meeting with the counselor. Course requests for next year

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.
