Reminder -Failed Classes
Core classes (English, Math, Social Studies, and
Science) are required courses for graduation that are
set by the State. If you fail any course, you will have to
retake it, unless it is a full year course and you pass
high enough for both semesters to average 70 or
higher.
Each semester class earns 0.5 credit;
therefore, a whole year course earns 1.0
credit. Six credits (6.0) are required to be
classified as a sophomore. 1.0 must be in
English and 1.0 credit must be in Math.
Alternate Courses
Please choose one full year alternate
courses and 2 semester courses in case
an elective you have chosen is full or
not offered.
Schedule forms with alternate course
lines left blank will receive last priority
from counselors.
If there are no alternate courses,
counselors must give students electives
which are open. Students lose their
choices, and schedules cannot not be
changed.
SCHEDULE CHANGES
After school begins, schedule changes will be
made only to correct scheduling errors or to
equalize class enrollments. Students who register
for a full year course are expected to complete the
course and remain in that class for the entire
year.
Examples: core classes, foreign language classes,
electives, etc.
PRE-AP SCHEDULE CHANGES
Students who request Pre-AP/Honors courses may
change their schedules to a level class after the end
of the first three weeks of school or at the beginning
of the second semester if a level class in the same
subject area is available.
When considering changing levels, students need to
attend tutoring, have parent / teacher conferences,
and contact the counselor.
A summer reading assignments may be required
for Pre-AP classes. It is the students responsibility
to make sure they are aware of the requirements.
Reading assignments may be found on the HHS
website.
