Introduction

COURSE SELECTION PROCESS:

During December and January the counselors go into the High School social studies classrooms to meet with groups of freshmen, sophomores and juniors to review graduation requirements and to help students assess where they stand with regard to the specific requirements of their graduating class. Counselors assist students in planning a schedule for the next school year that will help them to attain their future goals.  During this time, students are asked to fill out a tentative schedule for next year.  Following the group program planning session, students are strongly encouraged to take home and discuss their tentative schedule with their parents. Individualized follow-up sessions are then conducted during which counselors assist students in making adjustments and finalizing their 2021-22 schedule requests. Refer to the Parent Portal in May to view your child's requests.  CHANGES CAN BE MADE UNTIL SEPTEMBER 1ST.

SUBJECT LOAD:

Students are required to enroll in a minimum of 6 1/2 credits per academic school year.  Early release and late arrival may be approved for seniors on an individual basis with Principal approval. Students scoring below state standards on the 8th grade assessments and students failing required exit exams will receive mandatory academic intervention services (ALC).

ADDING / DROPPING COURSES:
