Introduction

The purpose of this guide is to help you and your parents make better decisions concerning your course selections for the coming year. Each course that a student chooses should be a part of an overall plan and suited to his/her abilities and interests. Perhaps a student has a certain career in mind; perhaps he/she is exploring different fields to help in the selection of a vocation. He/she may be planning for college or developing interests in one of the fine arts areas or other creative activities. Whatever the goal, making good scheduling decisions is important.

A student’s participation in a particular subject area should be based on a combination of logical and sequential courses of study, which lead to the desired objectives.

Read this guide carefully and discuss your plans with your parents. It is essential that a student think seriously about a particular subject before scheduling it, because a student-initiated request for change in schedule must be completed prior to student orientation. A student will not be allowed to shuttle between teachers and courses once he/she has been placed in the course. Because the administration must plan for the next school year, based on the subjects now, students cannot change classes or drop a course unless there are extenuating circumstances which are approved by the principal.
