Your One Stop Shop to Course Selection Information
WE WILL CONTINUOUSLY BE UPDATING AS NEW INFORMATION AND DATES ARE PROVIDED
Stallion Families,
Transition season is upon us! Please take a look at upcoming dates, information, and the amazing opportunities that are in store for your student. Your Folks counselors will be visiting with our students to provide course selection options and assist them with selecting courses on their planning guide. Counselors will meet with every student both through whole group guidance and individually to discuss their course selections and answer any questions they may have before entering selections into HAC (Home Access Center).
In addition, NISD has several Magnet Schools that explore various career fields your student may want to pursue. Our Magnet School programs provide hands-on learning, real time work experience, and even provide certifications upon graduation. Why wait? The future starts now!

6th Grade Transition Information
Stallions,
We are so excited to be meeting with our future 6th graders! Counselors will be discussing course selections during our transition presentations with 5th graders at our Folks Transition Camps on December 5th & 10th. During this time, a description of our course selections and electives offered at Folks will be provided to students. Students will also enjoy a pep rally where they will see Folk's students performing from our various electives and briefly tour our campus. We will also be providing teachers with course selection planning guides to be completed with their elementary counselors. Please make sure to check those backpacks to see what your child selected on their planning guide:) The elementary course selection window runs from December 2nd-January 10th.
