<p>Thanks for starting this!</p>
<p>I’m a single mom with one son, who will be starting 9th grade at our local public high school this fall, but I’ve been posting for a while, partially because I work in a school so I have questions from that perspective.</p>
<p>My son is the sweetest kid on the planet, he doesn’t seem to have gotten the memo that teenagers are supposed to be grumpy or uncooperative. He’s a solid student, but not a typical CC superstar, getting mostly B’s with some A’s in English and History and the arts sprinkled in. He’ll play football in the fall, and wants to try crew in the spring. He’s also been very involved in the production side of theater and TV while in middle school, and will hopefully continue that in HS, and maybe sing in a choir. He’s got a couple of low key volunteer activities at our local Board of Elections, and the zoo, and now that he’s 14 he’s going to start working as a soccer ref with the rec league. His goal is to find another job, he’ll be submitting an application to the library this week so we’ll see how that goes, and he’s applied to be a Jr. snowboard instructor this winter. He’s a busy kid, so I’m very excited that he’s moving to HS where more the activities are onsite and there’s less driving for me!</p>
<p>His first choice schedule for the fall is:</p>
<p>Honors English 9
Honors Biology
Honors American History
Geometry
Arabic 1
Theater
Video Production </p>
<p>He’s got a couple classes that aren’t that popular, so we’ll see if all of his first choices fit together.</p>
