From the Library
As 2023 gets underway, the American Library Association will recognize the best children’s and young adult literature of 2022 with their Youth Media Awards. This year’s awards will take place on January 30. Stay tuned for information about this year’s winners and honor recipients—we’ll post links in the HHS Library course on Schoology and in an upcoming News You Choose issue. 2022 was an outstanding year for books and other media!
Are your students conducting research in their classes? We work with many classes to help them find reliable information and learn how to use information ethically. Please remind your students that there are fantastic research supports available through their HHS Library course on Schoology and that they can always reach us at hhs_library@fcps.edu with any questions.
Our Global Citizen Book Club meets monthly. All students are welcome, whether they have attended a meeting in the past or not. The next meeting will take place on Monday, February 13 from 3:00 to 4:00 in the library. Students can join the book club’s Schoology group at F4BT-W6TC-5G8JD for all of the details.
Academic Advising and Course Selection for 2023-24
Academic Advising Season has begun! Starting in January 2023, students will meet individually with their school counselor to choose their courses for the 2023-24 school year. It is so important that parents and students are informed of their academic options. Families are encouraged to talk with current teachers for their recommendations for next school year. Just like last year, students will choose classes via their SIS Student accounts. After the students choose their courses via their accounts, they will meet with their counselor to confirm the selections. In January, parents can view the course selections via their SIS Parent account. If you do not have an active account, please contact Student Services to obtain a login.
It is important for students to choose a course load that will challenge them and help prepare them for their post-secondary endeavors while also allowing for balance with their extracurricular and personal commitments. We take academic advising and course selection seriously and encourage students to seek input from current teachers, school counselor, and their parents as they make course selections. It is important that your student base their choices on their strengths and interests and with their post-secondary plans in mind.
The timeline for academic advising and course selection can be found here (English, Spanish).
