  3. 9th Grade Learning Community • Cohort (Teacher Teams) made up by content areas: English, Science, Social Studies, and Health/PE • Cohort teachers have collaborative time to focus on individual student achievement/struggles, analyzing data, and working on transition curriculum for their 120-130 shared students. • Elective teachers and non-cohort teachers will be invited to join collaborative time as much as possible • Transition curriculum infused into the content of the 4 cohort teacher’s current curriculum: Citizenship, Strategies for Success and Healthy Future

  4. “No 9th Grade Student Left Unknown” • Students: • have same elective choices offered to all. • schedules will look the same as any other student. • will not have “team” activities. • Begin exploration of college and career options with introduction of SLCs (Student Learning Communities)

  5. Registration Timeline • Student course requests are due by March 3, 2017 at the Registrar’s Office. • Aug. 1- 11: schedules can be viewed online with a limited window to request course changes. An email will be sent to all students with directions on how to view schedules and with directions about how to request course changes. **Schedule changes are very restricted after August 11, 2017. *FRESHMEN ORIENTATION IN AUGUST

  6. Mental Health Initiative: RETHINK the purpose of High School and the college admissions process . Getting in to college is NOT the finish line of life. *Help your child identify and work toward their goals. Take healthy risks. *Help your child find ways to participate and discover skills – club/activity at school or in the community, elective classes, etc. Healthy Points of View • Short Term:What you need to know to effectively plan your classes for next year? • Long Term: What you need to know & think about in order to effectively plan for the next four years of high school? See pg. 9 of Course Guide to plan ahead

  10. Additional Considerations • Colleges Have Different Requirements (and it depends on what you want to study) • World Language – typically two years are required as a minimum. • Math - Trig/Precalc. for Science, Eng, Business, IST • Science - are you pursuing health/medical careers? • Fine Arts - colleges in California require it. • Requirements For NCAA – 16 Core Courses for Division I & II (NCAA.org) See page 7 of course selection guide.

  11. Reading and Using the Course Selection Guide: • Year long courses that meet every other day for a full block (90 mins) = 1.0 credit. • Semester long courses that meet every other day for a full block = .5 credits • (Music) courses that meet every day, year long and for a half block (45 mins) = .5 credit. • Advanced and AP Science classes that meet for a full block every other day for one semester and everyday during the other semester = 1.50 credits. • Page 8 covers Community Service and the Keystone Exams in more detail. • Page 9 contains a Graduation Planning Guide for those of you that want to start mapping out the next four years of high school. • First half of the Course Selection Guide is curricular courses listed alphabetically by department and second half is CTC courses where many additional elective courses can be found.
