Summer School
• We will not have a list of classes offered this summer until later
this Spring.
• In the meantime, DO NOT count on core classes being offered in
the summer; students will still need to write these on their
freshmen year 4 year plan and course selection sheet.
• If your child plans on taking electives in summer school (such as
health, speech or art), THEY STILL NEED TO HAVE THESE CLASSES
ON THEIR 4 YEAR PLAN SOMEWHERE. They can put those classes
under sophomore year if needed.
Schedule Changes
During schedule pick up and through the first week of school, only the schedule changes listed
in this section will be considered. No elective changes will be made. Learners must submit
a Schedule Change Request Form at their campus for any of the following issues:
• Missing a class period
• Prerequisite for course not met
• Need to retake a failed course
• Add/Drop UIL Activity
• Add Office Aide/Teacher Aide
• Course completed/credit earned via summer school, CBE, etc.
• Need a course required for graduation (SENIORS only)
• Course requested for DAP is not on schedule-(SENIORS only)
More on schedules Pg. 10
• Students who do not submit a Course Selection
Worksheet and/or do not register online will have a
schedule arranged for them by their counselor
according to their academic needs and/or graduation
plan.
• Last day to change courses is JUNE 2, 2017
Things to know
• UIL: Students will lose eligibility to perform in extracurricular
activities for a 3 week period after receiving below a 70 at the
end of a grading cycle
• Make up work: It is the student’s responsibility to request make-up
work from teachers when returning from an absence
Heads Up! Pg. 18
• If your child is an athlete, check www.eligibilitycenter.org for
NCAA requirements
• Most colleges and universities require certain core curriculum for
entrance. For ex., requiring Algebra II. Students should check
their dream college as a junior to see if you meet entrance
requirements.
• If your child plans on attending the Technical Education Center (to
study cosmetology, fire fighting, etc.) they will need to check with
their counselor to see if they HAVE TO take all of their ‘other’
required courses before they are a junior.
Course Recommendations
 Students should take 4 years of English, Math, Science and Social
Studies (Including World Geography)
 Student should take Chemistry and/or Physics, if not both
 Students should take Algebra II
 Students should not overload their schedule with too many advanced
courses due to the rigor of PreAP, AP, Honors and Dual Credit courses
