Don't hesitate to ask a counselor for help. Course descriptions in this booklet do not list every course objective. Students should try to plan the best education possible, depending on their ability, achievement, and future goals. Standard Program Board of Education policy requires each student to select a schedule consisting of a minimum of eight courses each year of high school. All courses have credit value equal to the number of times a class meets per week.
Most classes meet five periods per week, yielding five credits.
One-semester courses meet for only half a year and yield 2.5 credits. If these credit minimums are not met, a student will be placed in the previous grade homeroom. Two years of World Language. Steps in Scheduling 1. Return the Student Request Form, completed and signed, to your counselor.
