There are no alternative courses!! • If you are recommended for the Accelerated path you must have extremely high math grades and a 3 on your 8th grade CRCT in math. • In addition to being a very strong math student, you must also be a very strong test taker. 90% of your grade will be earned from demonstrating content mastery on quizzes, tests and alternative assessments. • Even if your 8th grade math teacher has recommended you for Accelerated math, you need to have a serious discussion with your parents to be SURE this path is right for you.

  14. High School Academic Placement • All Academic course placements are subject to change. Students are currently placed based on first semester and current grades in pre-requisite courses. • If final second semester grades in pre-requisite courses or 8th CRCT scores drop below the necessary grades to be placed in Honors level courses, students will be removed before the beginning of the 2013/2014 School Year.

Course Verification Form • On the front of the course verification form, there will be a listing of all of your academic courses currently selected by your teachers (subject to change upon receipt of final second semester grade) • These courses should total 4.0 units if you are not currently in a World Language or 5.0 units if you are continuing on to a second year of World Language.
