PARENT GUIDE TO CLASS FORECASTING February 17/18, all students (grades 7-11) will be doing Class Forecasting for the 20152016 school year during their Bible classes. Here are a few ideas of how you can help your student be better prepared for this event: 

Take time to look over the course options and share your parental advice and preferences with your student.



Talk to your student about his or her academic workload this year. 



Add some challenge next year.

Was it too difficult? 

Ease up a bit. The goal is for students to be challenged, but not overwhelmed. It’s a continual “balancing act”.



Print out the checklist and have your student circle all the courses that he or she has completed in grades 8 and up (high school credit) and also look ahead at future school years.



Have your student (grades 9-11) look at his or her College Board Account and review the AP Potential section to see which AP courses for which he or she is well prepared.



Make this time a fun and relaxing family moment to inspire your student to consider future career and college options in the context of selecting classes to enhance his or her talents.
