Credit Flexibility & Curriculum Night

Tomorrow night is registration night for 8th graders and their parents as well as curriculum night for all students.  During curriculum night students and parents from all grades have the opportunity to learn more in-depth information about the various courses and class sequences available at WKHS.  For example, you can hear about the new common core changes, the IB classes, the Project Lead the Way program, and any specific classes of interest.  

Additionally, starting at 7:30pm, we will be sharing information about the options available to students through credit flexibility.  The State of Ohio passed legislation that enables students to earn credit based on a demonstration of subject area competency, instead of or in combination with completing hours of classroom instruction. Students will be able to customize aspects of their learning around their interests and needs. It encourages student self-direction and motivates learners to develop new skills and fulfill their potential. Examples of credit flexibility opportunities include, but are not limited to, independent study, online learning, and demonstration of course proficiency.

I hope that all students and parents interested in learning more about credit flexibility will join us tomorrow evening.  We will be in one of the classrooms upstairs and the room will be marked to help you find it.
