INTRODUCTION Welcome to Allatoona High School Home of the Buccaneers! We look forward to your arrival in August 2014. We know that you will continue working hard during the second semester of middle school to prepare yourself for the transition to high school. Allatoona High is currently on a 4x4 Block schedule which allows you to take eight classes each year. 4x4 means that you will take four classes during the first semester and four different classes during the second semester. During each semester, the four blocks of instruction will be 90-95 minutes long. A typical schedule includes two core and two elective classes each semester; however, depending on the courses selected, some schedules may have 3 core during a semester. Health and Personal Fitness (BPE) are half-credit classes, and students complete each of them in concurrent 9- week quarters during one semester. (See sample schedules on page 5.) When you enter high school, every class you take will affect your Grade Point Average (GPA). Performing well in a class affects your GPA positively, while performing poorly in a class affects your GPA negatively. Your academic performance also determines whether or not you are promoted to the next grade. Students must earn credit in math, science, and English each academic year and have accumulated a certain number of overall credits to be eligible for promotion to the next grade. During registration, your 8 th grade teachers will recommend your core classes based upon performance criteria and your academic achievement. You, with your parents assistance, will select your elective courses. It is important for you to consider which college and/or career pathway you will complete in high school and choose courses in which you are interested. If you have questions about registration or course selection, then you and your parent(s) should attend our 8 th Grade Parent Night on Tuesday, February 11, 2014, at 6:30 p.m. in the Allatoona High Theater. Your 8 th grade counselor can also answer registration questions. 2

REGISTRATION DIRECTIONS Your eighth grade teachers will evaluate your achievement level, work habits, and current grades and recommend the academic core classes for which you should be registered. YOU must select your elective courses and alternates. Since all ninth grade students are required to take Health and Personal Fitness (BPE) as their first elective, you will need to select three more electives and two alternate electives. Follow the steps listed below to complete the registration process: 1. Read this registration handbook completely including course descriptions. This information will provide you with descriptions of the academic core courses and help you make good elective choices. Review and discuss elective choices with your parents. Core courses are listed as a reference only and are marked with TR (Teacher Recommendation). Teachers use the CCSD Ninth Grade as a guide for recommending core classes. Students who enroll in Combo Courses (band, chorus, orchestra, NJROTC, and construction technology) must use TWO ELECTIVES for these courses and record both course numbers on their registration worksheet. Foreign language courses are elective courses; teachers do NOT recommend these courses. You must use one of your electives to select a foreign language. 2. Select three (3) elective courses and two (2) alternates from the elective courses listed in the course section of this handbook. Using the Allatoona Elective Course Registration Worksheet (the orange page at the end of this registration handbook), record the course title and course number for each elective and alternate in the spaces provided. Sign the worksheet at the bottom in the space provided. Parents should review these courses and sign the completed registration worksheet at the bottom in the space provided. 3. Return the completed and signed registration worksheet to your teacher. Your teacher will check your elective and alternate course selections and attach the worksheet to the Official Registration Form that contains your academic core classes for which you have been recommended. Then the course requests will be input into the scheduling database. *Students who do not return the Elective Course Registration Worksheet will forfeit their opportunity to select their own electives. 4. WAIVER PROCEDURES: We will mail a Registration Verification form in April showing all of the courses (both academic core and electives) for which you are registered. If any of the courses listed on the form are incorrect or you disagree with a course recommendation, then follow the directions on the form to replace the course(s). 3

High School Graduation Requirements (for students entering the 9 th grade for the first time in 2012-2013 and subsequent years) The State Board of Education offers one common set of requirements for all students to earn a regular diploma.
