Message from Jennifer Jackson – Sophomore Counselor
Hello Class of 2024!
If you were not able to attend Registration night, no worries you
will be discussing the registration process in Huddle over the next couple
of weeks. Next Wednesday, March 10th, your huddle teacher will begin
individual conferences with each of you to select your courses for next year.
Here is a link for the Course Registration Guidebook and the Rising
Sophomore mock form.
The course guide will be a helpful tool to complete this
process. It contains graduation requirements, pathways, and course
descriptions. The mock registration form will allow you to discuss course
options with your families and come prepared for your Huddle registration
session with your top 8 choices as well as your alternates.
We will register during Huddle from March 10 - March 17 It
will be VERY important that you have reviewed the information in the course
guide and on the mock form so that you will be ready when it’s your turn to
register.
Rising Sophomores will need to
reference the graduation requirements to ensure they have met and have a plan
to meet remaining graduation requirements. The requirements can be found in the course
guide. Your transcript is available through your IC student portal under
documents.
Rising Sophomores will complete a transcript review
with their Huddle teacher, choose electives, and choose alternates.
Let me know what questions you have! You can email me (jennifer.jackson@marshall.kyschools.us) or complete this form to schedule a meeting with
me so we can discuss any questions you may have.

2021-2022 Commissioners Student Advisory Council
Students encouraged to apply for 2021-2022 Commissioner’s Student Advisory Council
(FRANKFORT, KY) – Public school students in grades 10-12 are invited to apply for 14 vacant positions on the 2021-2022 Commissioner’s Student Advisory Council, a group that provides input to the Kentucky commissioner of education.
The Commissioner’s Student Advisory Council is a year-long program. The group will meet with the commissioner and Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) staff to discuss how decisions made at the state level are affecting students throughout Kentucky. Members will provide feedback from a student perspective on critical issues impacting Kentucky students and schools.
"Involving the voices of our students and empowering them in our decisions is critically important to all of us here at KDE," said Jason E. Glass, Kentucky's commissioner of education and chief learner. "Over the past year, KDE has increased the number of meetings with this valuable student council and has continued to look for additional ways to include their voice as we develop policy and provide guidance to our districts and schools."
KDE is seeking students for the council who have innovative ideas and thoughtful insight into how schools and student achievement can be improved. Students who represent the diverse academic, geographic, demographic and school-size variables for Kentucky are encouraged to apply.
Students selected to serve on the council represent each of the seven Supreme Court districts, and at least one student from the Kentucky School for the Blind, the Kentucky School for the Deaf and students enrolled in a career and technical education pathway. Students selected for the council may serve consecutive one-year terms as long as they remain eligible to serve.
A committee of KDE appointed representatives will review and score all applications based on the answers provided. Top scoring applicants will be invited to interview for a position on the council; appointments will be determined by how well the applicants communicate their ideas and goals.
The application deadline is March 12, 2021. Interested students should use this Google form to apply.

SPRING 2021 AP EXAM INFORMATION
AP
EXAM FEE $95
Fee
waivers are available if you qualify for free/reduced lunch. There will be a
place to mark that in the online registration account.
Current
SBDM policy states that students that score a 3 on the AP exam are eligible for
one letter grade increase on their final course grade. Scores of 4 or 5
are eligible for up to 2 letter grade increases. Transcript changes occur once
AP scores arrive and are processed in the fall.
REGISTRATION & PAYMENT PROCESS:
*AP
Exam ordering and registration is a TWO step process.
1.
Payment
We are
using Total Registration to handle our AP exam payments this year. Students
must create an account and login to register and pay for their exams.
This will provide students with the option to pay with a credit card (students
may also pay by debit card, check, or cashier’s check if they want/need
to). Students previously using Total Registration in years past or to
register for the PSAT will already have an account and will click ‘login here’
at the bottom of the site.
There
will be a link on our school website “AP EXAMS” that you can click on or you
can access the registration site directly at www.TotalRegistration.net/AP/180200
2.
Enroll/Register
Students
must enroll in their AP courses and mark their intent in the CollegeBoard’s
MyAP system. Students registering for an AP exam must mark their exam indicator
to yes. This is done at MyAP.CollegeBoard.org. You will login with your
existing College Board student account (if you have previously taken AP, PSAT
or SAT exams) or you will create a new College Board student account. You
should have already created an account and joined your course with the code
given to you by your teacher by the first week of the course.
*Note:
Total Registration is used to record payment while CollegeBoard's MyAP
Classroom is used to mark intent for the actual order. One cannot be completed
without the other.

ACT Prep Opportunity -Kelly Walden
Message from Kelly Walden:
We are hosting two workshops in February to try to reach all of our geographic region for the March 9 Junior ACT. One workshop will be in Fulton County and one will be in Paducah. The Fulton Co workshop will be held on Saturdays in February. The Paducah workshop will start on February 13 to accommodate the students who will take the ACT on Feb 6. It will end on March 6, right before the Junior ACT.
ACT Prep through Jane Ross Tutuoring
Jane Ross Tutoring is partnering with Union University to offer online ACT prep for the spring tests! Beginning Wednesday, Jan 27, we will host a series of five weekly webinars where we teach our proven strategies for beating the test.
Our live webinars are called JRT Power Sessions. In the first session, I'll share seven of the most effective math strategies. The best part is that the first session is FREE.
Students who attended our JRT Power Sessions last year gave us great feedback. Connor raised his score from a 16 to a 24, and his college upped his scholarship offer by $2,500 per year. His investment in the webinars reaped a return of $10,000!
To attend the first JRT Power Session, simply register by clicking this Union link: uu.edu/events/ACTprep
After the first session, we'll continue the series for students who want training for the other parts of the ACT. All of the details—including dates and cost—can be found here.
Higher scores open doors!
--Dr. Ben Phillips, Agency Director
