1 Excellence Live It!!! BHMS NORTH COURSE SELECTION GUIDE 6 th, 7 th, and 8 th Grades
2 Parents and Students: The information in this booklet will assist you in making course selections for middle school, high school, and beyond. Please take time to review the information in this pamphlet before choosing your classes. It is very important that parents and students choose classes carefully as teacher assignments are based on student course requests in the spring. BHMS North reserves the right to cancel any class if a minimum student requirement is not met or if certified staff is not available to teach the course. Please feel free to contact the Campus Counseling Center if there are any questions concerning courses, scheduling, etc. Parents are encouraged to discuss course selections with their student before signing and returning the course selection plan to the counseling office by the date required. The counseling staff will inform, monitor and advise parents and students concerning course requirements and elective choices, but it is ultimately the responsibility of the student along with parental approval to select classes that will best suit their needs. We do not change course selections once the final course verification sheet has been returned.
3 A PORTRAIT OF MIDDLE SCHOOL EXCELLENCE Middle school students have more personal responsibilities than elementary school students do. Sixth, seventh, and eighth grade students must learn to change classes several times a day and could have as many as six different teachers. Students are responsible for memorizing their class schedule, carrying their own school supplies, and maintaining appropriate behavior. The faculty and staff are dedicated to helping students prepare for success in high school and beyond. Below you will find academic and behavioral expectations required of BHMS North students: Organize materials independently Write down all homework assignments independently Complete all classroom assignments Return completed homework and other required paperwork to school within the appropriate timeline Work independently in the classroom Keep up with their belongings Get to classes on time Identify personal goals Develop and maintain positive relationships Work in collaboration with others Demonstrate integrity while taking personal responsibility for one s own actions Students with disabilities may have ARD documented modifications for some of the above expectations. The faculty and staff are required to adhere to all ARD committee decisions.
4 Parent and Student Information Barbers Hill Middle School North strives to provide the highest quality education while being responsive to students needs. The participation and commitment of parents and students during course selection and scheduling is a major component in reaching this goal. We ask for your help. Master schedules are developed during the spring prior to the upcoming year. Student course selections determine how many teachers and sections will be needed for a course. The process allows administrators the ability to plan and hire for optimum academic strength. When students are permitted to randomly change schedules, classes become unbalanced. Even the most effective planning is compromised. Very seldom does one course change affect only one course. Careful selections benefit everyone. Thank you for being a crucial part of our educational team as we work together for academic excellence. Course Selection Process Students will be guided through course selections by the counseling office staff. The counselor, academic dean, and other BHMS North personnel will assist students in selecting courses. Students who do not submit a course selection form will have a schedule arranged by the counselor according to their academic needs. High School Credit and GPA: Courses taken for high school credit while in middle school will NOT count in the student s high school cumulative grade point average for high school. The new GPA policy was in effect beginning August 1, High school credit will be awarded. Pre-AP Courses: BHMS North offers students the opportunity to participate in Pre-AP courses so that they may be better prepared for high school and beyond. Pre-AP students are challenged to be more disciplined, structured, and to perform at a higher academic level. Students participating in the Pre-AP Language Arts Program may have to complete summer reading assignments according to a timeline set forth by the Language Arts Department. All Pre-AP students and parents must sign a Pre-AP contract for the advanced class they have signed up for. Pre-AP contacts will be provided and collected the first week of the school year.
5 Definitions ELECTIVE- An elective is a course that is not an academic or core class. PRE-AP- Pre-Advanced Placement classes are advanced, more in-depth classes within a subject area. Successful completion of a Pre-AP level course prepares students for high school AP classes. Certain criteria might be required before a student can be enrolled in a Pre-AP level course. Please see each course description for prerequisite information. PREQUISITE- A prerequisite is a requirement that must be met in order to take a certain course. REQUIRED COURSE- A required course is one that a student must take and pass in order to promote to the next grade. SEMESTER- A semester is an eighteen week segment of the thirty-six week school year. Two semesters make up the school year for middle school students. TEKS- TEKS are the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills- a statewide curriculum mandated by the Texas State Board of Education.
