  17. How to fill out your Course Selection Sheet If and only if an Accelerated or HA class is highlighted are you allowed to take the course. If you do not have any Accelerated or HA courses highlighted, you only need to circle Instrumental Music (please make sure that you include the instrument that you play) and have the paper signed. Instrumental music is mainly for those who took band in the 5th grade. IF you have Accelerated or HA classes highlighted, THEN you can CHOOSE if you want those classes. You MUST circle the classes that you are choosing to take. We do not want to place you in classes that you have not chosen. Once you have chosen your classes, choose your elective, and have the paper signed.
