54 Basic Scheduling Instructions Seniority in scheduling (12, 11, 10, 9) Some HONORS Courses require SUMMER WORK can t drop if you signed up for it ALL English, Math, Science, Social Science and Honors courses are teacher recommended Sign up and teacher will confirm correct placement

55 Basic Scheduling Instructions Must fill in alternate courses we substitute only as needed 1 to 1 REQUIRED courses first, including any failed courses. Must meet prerequisites (check in enrollment book)

56 A Word About Honors Courses You do not need to take EVERY honors course to get in to a good college. Take honors in areas you are good at and like. If you are getting C s in honors you should take regular next year. Make sure you are considering the time these classes take!! Balance is important Selective schools and scholarship sponsors are looking for the WHOLE package that means some honors, good ACT scores, activities, leadership, etc.

57 Aides (11-12 only) Grades for aides will be CR or NC & grades do not figure into either GPA Students may only aide for one hour per semester

58 Students will print a copy of their enrollment requests and bring them home to be signed by a parent. This form must be turned in to the Counseling Office by 3PM March 7 (for 8 th graders by March 9): If they don t turn parent signed forms in the computer will make their schedule without student input.

59 At EHS we make the ENTIRE Master Schedule based on Student Requests SO: Schedule Change Rules Changes will only be made for the following reasons: A. There is an error (caused by the computer or office) B. Your teacher believes that you have been misplaced in a course or you must move due to 1 st semester failure If you are CAPABLE (teacher recommends), and you COMMIT to the course (by enrolling/parents signing off), then you are expected to COMPLETE the course. I work too many hours or my outside activities are getting in the way I need to change my classes you will have to change your hours or activities.school is your first priority.
