student schedule F.A.Q.

Your class schedule is created taking several factors into account. We try and provide you with a schedule that will allow you to grow as a student and become a successful wildcat! In the event you have questions about your schedule, feel free to look through our FAQ (frequently asked questions) below. If you would like to discuss your schedule or don't see an answer to a question you may have, please don't hesitate to email me via STUDENT SQUARE or set up an appointment through the "SCHEDULE A MEETING" tab above.

2.CAN I PICK MY ELECTIVE?

Each year you will be asked to fill out a Google Form with your elective choices. The choices you select are not a guarantee. I will try my best to provide you with your first choice, but again, it may not always be possible due to schedule conflicts. If you play an instrument, or wish to play an instrument, and you were not placed in a music class, please reach out to the PAWS Center and let us know so that we may fix your schedule.

3. I want to be in AVID, how do i get in?

Our AVID Program elective requires an application and interview process. Each year around March, AVID teachers hold informative meetings for parents and students who wish to learn more about the program and how to apply. Once you apply, you are then asked to participate in an interview. Entry into AVID is not a guarantee. If you are selected, you will receive notification of your acceptance. If you have further questions about AVID, reach out to the PAWS Center or Mrs Alvarado for more information.

4. I want to be in asb, how do i get in?

To be a part of our ASB elective, you will need to apply and must be selected to join. Applications for ASB will usually become available in MAY. If you have further questions about ASB or the application process, please reach out to the ASB elective teacher, Gina Campagna.

5. Can i change lunches?

UNFORTUNATELY WE CANT CHANGE YOUR LUNCH. LUNCHES ARE ASSIGNED BY GRADE LEVEL.

6. i DON'T LIKE MY TEACHER, CAN I CHANGE CLASSES?

We can't change schedules for this reason. What we do encourage our students to do is to talk with the teacher to try and come up with a game plan so that you can work out some of those differences. If you feel like you could use some assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. Much like in life, we will more than likely be confronted with situations where we need to learn how to work with individuals that may share different beliefs or ways of operating. Let's work together on being more understanding, respectful citizens that are open to working with all individuals.

7. How do i get into honors classes?

Honors classes are available to 7th and 8th grade students. When placing a student into honors, we take a look at several factors, including: teacher recommendation, class grades, reading lexile, and SBAC test scores. If you currently are not in an honors class, but would like to be considered for future placement, start a conversation with your teacher about your interest and what you can work on to obtain your goal.
