  7. Program Planning Sequence of events: Curriculum Fair January 9th Portal open for registration from January 10th– February 2nd Middle school counselors meet with students Verification sheets sent home for review 3/4 and parent signature due March 7th Schedules posted late August on Portal

  8. Keep Graduation Requirements in Mind (pg. 3) 6

  9. Scheduling Considerations All sophomores must schedule the following credits: • English …………………. 1.0 credit • Social Studies ……… 1.0 credit • Mathematics ………. 1.0 credit • Biology ………………… 1.0 credit • Wellness / Fitness … 0.5 credit * some may need more * *Study halls are OK and may occur, especially for students who schedule a music elective.

  10. The “Block Schedule”All classes are 90 minutes in length. Four classes per day. 8 credits maximum each year.

  11. Advantages of the “block schedule” • Time management • Opportunity for quality interaction in classrooms • Variety of methods of instruction are utilized during one class period • More courses can be selected throughout the year ; “doubling up” for advancement is possible • “Fresh start” opportunity every 9 or 18 weeks • Classes can possibly be repeated for remediation

  12. Full Day Sophomore Schedule with the maximum 8 credits

  13. Full Day Sophomore Schedule (example 7.5/8.0 credits)

  14. MBIT/Half Day Sophomore Schedule

  15. How is the master schedule built? • Courses are “requested” with recommendations from current teachers. • The number of course sections and staffing is determined based on these requests. • Courses are offered only if there is sufficient enrollment. • Counselors work to resolve schedule conflicts; Alternates are often utilized! • “Critical Course Change Policy” is firm and limited to: pre-requisite issues, course misplacement, or course failure.

  16. Uses for Student/Parent Portal Access to student data : attendance, grades, schedule, personal information Register for course requests (Students instructed at School) Thursday January 10th -Sunday February 2nd Registration is course selection, not schedule design and is not “first come – first served”. See page 6 of POS for info on technology applications available for students & parents.

  17. You will also begin to use…. Naviance Family Connection • Career Plan (.25 credit) • College Search and Organization • Application and Recommendation Process Office 365 Blackboard

  18. Career Plan A natural 3 year progression aligned with student developmental goals All students will earn .25 credit upon completion Grade 10: Career exploration utilizing 4 surveys Grade 11 : Career Plan Essay to be completed and graded in English class. Grade 12 : Resume and job application

  19. Does 9th grade count? • The grades you earn in grade 9 count just as much toward your cumulative GPA as 10, 11, or 12. • Make the effort now so that you won’t have to make up ground in 10th or 11th grade.
