Questions?

Who do I talk to if I’m not sure which class to take?

A: You can talk to your current teachers, your advisory teacher, your counselor, or your adults at home for help deciding what to take next year.

I will be a senior and I'm almost done with my graduation requirements. Do I need a full schedule?

A: You do not need a full schedule for your diploma if you have all of your credits, but certain activities like sports, theater, band, and choir require you to take a minimum of five academic (graded) classes in order to participate. Always check to make sure that you are still meeting your college, trade school, or any other post-secondary pathway requirements. Some pathways will have stricter requirements than others and counselors are not responsible for ensuring you’re on track for your individual plan after high school.

Should I take a World Language class?

A: We encourage all of our students to take a world language class. You do not need to take a world language class to graduate high school, but two years of the same world language is an admissions requirement for four-year colleges/universities.

I am a student receiving ELD services. What do I do?

A: Follow the directions for choosing classes.  ELD courses will be built into schedules based on teacher recommendations, ELPA scores, and how long a student has been receiving ELD support.  Once the schedule is complete, email your counselor with any questions.

I am in the Dual Language (Spanish) program.  Which classes are offered in Spanish?

A: Aloha High School has a Dual Language pathway available to native Spanish speaking students with Spanish literacy. The classes include: Spanish Literature and Composition (I, II, and III), AP Spanish,  STEM Physics, STEM Chemistry, Global Studies, US History, and Spanish Cinema.  If you have any questions about the dual language program, please fill out the form HERE.

Who can take late arrival/early release?

A: Juniors or seniors who are on track for graduation can sign up for an early release or late arrival period. Please keep in mind that certain activities like sports, band, choir, and theater require students to take 5 credit-bearing classes a semester, so we do not encourage students to take multiple late arrival/early release periods. Students with an late arrival/early release period are responsible for transportation to or from school. Students may not stay on campus during the release period.

I received an I, N, or F in a class that I need for graduation. What should I do?

A: You can always retake the semester of a class that you did not pass, unless it is assigned to a specific grade level (for example, Lit and Comp 9). There are also credit recovery opportunities available to help you meet graduation requirements. Please email your counselor or see them in the counseling office if you have questions.
