This course emphasizes understanding how and why works of art function in context, considering such issues as patronage, gender, and the functions and effects of works of art. This is for students who have a passion and eye for Art in our World’s history.

  5. Academic Course Selections These selections are made by your counselor based on your academic record. You can elect to make changes to core classes with parent approval. PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING: • If you plan on going on to a 4 year college or university it is STRONGLY encouraged that you choose a class for each of the core subjects: English, Math, Science, and Social Studies. • If you have not passed the FCAT, you will be placed in Intensive Language Arts as required by Florida statute. • If you have not passed the Algebra 1 EOC, you will be placed in Intensive Math or Liberal Arts Math. • Be careful when making your selections! The classes provided and the teachers that are hired are BASED on the selections you make NOW. • Keep in mind, taking rigorous courses and being successful in them prepares you for what is to come AND increases your weighted GPA.

  10. For your Information . . . The following “events” will affect what your schedule looks like next year! • Not passing FCAT Reading with a 245. Intensive reading will be in place of an elective. • Not passing EOC Algebra with a 399. You will either be retaking that course, or have an extra core course next year in place of an elective. • Failing your current classes You could be placed in that course again or a remedial course (E2020). • Too many people requesting the same class All courses have class size limits due to CSR laws and safety regulations.

These issues in scheduling will be addressed upon your return in the Fall.

  12. Final Notes on Registration • The courses you select are a REQUEST. There are no guarantees that you will get exactly what you want. Counselors will do their best to ensure you are in courses of your interest, however, being on track for graduation trumps any request. Write down as many courses of interest as you can. • Failure to follow the process will result in a schedule chosen by your counselor. You must return the signed form to guidance by the deadline.
