  3. Items of Interest • Registration Process • Future Ready Core Graduation Requirements • High School Exit Standards • Promotion Requirements • 9th Grade Courses • Registering for Honors Classes • Extra-Curricular Opportunities

  4. Earning Credits • A “credit” represents one course that a student takes for an entire semester and earns at least a 70 average for the course. • Students take 4 courses each semester, so there is an opportunity to earn up to 8 credits in a regular school year.

Verification forms sent home for parent signature, returned, entered • Career Development Plans Completed.

  6. EOC Test Standard • Three high school courses have a state mandated End of Course (EOC) test which counts as 25% of the total grade. Students must score a level III on the test in order to get credit. This is in addition to passing the teacher standard for the course.

  7. EOC Tests for 2012-2013 that will impact students enrolled in these courses • English II • Math I • Biology

  8. North Carolina Graduation Requirements • Bladen County students entering 9th grade in 2012 will need 28 credits for graduation. The minimum required in NC will be 22.

Students may take AP U.S. History (a 1-semester course), but must also take a Social Studies elective if they do so. • Physical Education/Health – 1 Credit

  10. MATHEMATICS - BIG CHANGE: 4 credits of Math – Recommended sequence: Math I (Algebra I) Math II (Geometry) Math III(Algebra II), and a course beyond Algebra II. *Some substitutions may apply, depending on a student’s post-high school plans and/or based on outcome of Math I assessment/performance. *Because of Math I skills, all students in 9th grade should take Common Core Transition to Algebra I prior to taking Algebra 1 or Foundations of Geometry for students who took (and mastered) Algebra I in Grade 8.

  11. 9th Grade Courses • English I (Standard or Honors) • Math -, Math I (Algebra I) or Math II (Geometry) (Pending 8th grade EOG/EOC Scores) • Science- Earth Science,(Standard or Honors), Biology,ORPhysical Science (Standard or Honors) (pending 8th grade EOG/EOC scores) • Social Studies(World History (Standard or Honors)

  12. 9th Grade Courses Health and Physical Education • electives from areas of: • World Language • Art/Music • Career and Technical (CTE) Courses • Common Core Transition to Algebra I or Foundations of Geometry (for qualifying students) • JROTC • Students are given a list of suggested electives offered at High School for 9th graders

  13. Important Notes: • Elective choices should be selected based on interest, career plans, and educational goals.

  14. Promotion Requirements To be promoted from: • Grade 9 to Grade 10: A student must earn a minimum of 6 credits.
