I. Introduction
This program of studies book has been prepared for you and your parents by the curriculum, guidance, and special services departments. On the following pages you will find descriptions of the courses that may be offered in the coming school year. Once a schedule is in place, students will only be allowed to drop classes within a three cycle rotation beginning the first day of classes for any course.
Following the course descriptions, you will find additional information on important topics such as report cards and graduation requirements. Guidance personnel are available for your assistance during the entire year. Counselors are pleased to offer their services for scheduling, career, academic or other requested conferences. Students are urged to make use of career exploration materials and college or school informational materials as much as possible throughout the year.
The special services department provides both diagnostic services and educational programs to students who have been identified as eligible. Eligibility is determined through referral to the child study team when there is strong evidence that an emotional or learning disability is impacting the student's ability to participate in school. Please look this booklet over carefully as you plan your course selections with your counselors and teachers.
