  1. Registering for your 11th Grade Classes At Irvington Updated: 2/2013

  2. Registration form is due to your English teacher March 18th! • If there is a possibility you might not be at IHS next year, register for classes anyway so you have a spot in the event you stay. • Step 1: Chose your English and US History option. All 11th graders must take these two classes. • If you are applying or reapplying to an academy, you may have to complete an application. Go to irvington.org under the programs tab. • Family Coordinators: • SHAPE: Ms. Avina: aavina@fremont.k12.ca.us • ITA: Mr. Albizo: halbizo@fremont.k12.ca.us • CCA: Ms. Holmberg: gholmberg@fremont.k12.ca.us • NMAA: Ms. Burton sburton@fremont.k12.ca.us • www.nmaaihs.org • Step 2: Complete if you are taking AP Classes. Students must get teacher approval for EVERY AP class they take.

  3. AP Classes EVERY STUDENT that is registering for ANY AP course must complete the AP Registration Form and attach it to their registration packet. Extra copies can be found online at irvington.org under the “counselors” tab.

  4. Step 3: Complete if you are registering forAP English or AP US History. If you are signing up for AP English, you will have to attend a mandatory meeting that will be announced at a later time. • Step 4: Choose a math class. You will need to have your current math teacher’s recommendation for any math class. • Step 5: Complete if you are registering for an AP Math class.

  5. Step 6: Choose your electives. English, US History and Math are the only required classes for 11thgraders (unless you are missing credits in a subject area). Science and Language are considered electives in 11thgrade. • Choose your electives thoughtfully based on meeting graduation requirements and college admission requirements. • List classes in order of preference and make sure to list an alternate elective. If you do not add an alternate elective and the class you want is full, an elective will be chosen for you. • Make sure to have teachers sign for EVERY course that requires a teacher’s signature or the course request will not be honored. Courses that need a signature say [Teacher Rec.] next to them on the Elective Options Form. This includes level 3 and higher of a language and studio art.

  6. Graduation/ UC/CSU Requirements • Keep these in mind when registering for your classes. • English: 40 credits • History: 30 credits • Math: 30 credits (including both semesters of Algebra 1) CSU/UC: At least Geometry and Algebra 2 • Fine Art/ World Language: You need 10 credits of a Fine Art OR World Language to graduate. CSU/UC: A yearlong Art class ANDat least level 2 of a language are needed. • Health: 5 credits required • PE: 20 credits required • Science: 20 credits required. CSU/UC: Prefer Biology and Chemistry or Biology and Physics. • Electives: 75 credits required. Any class taken after a subject requirement is met is counted as an elective (Ex: Your 3rd year of science counts as an elective).

  7. Know Irvington’s a-g list http://www.ucop.edu/doorways/ Every class at Irvington that fulfills an a-g subject requirement for CSU and UC admission can be found on this list.

  8. AP Classes • If you are registering for AP classes: • Make sure you are prepared and have an interest in the subject. • Make sure you will have the time necessary to be successful in all of your classes. • Remember to take into consideration clubs, extra-curricular activities, job/volunteer work, etc. • AP and honors classes cannot be made up in summer school so if you do poorly, you are stuck with the NC. • Understand that you will not have the opportunity to transfer to a college prep course once the school year begins. The number of spaces in college prep classes are based on student requests at the time of registration. • DO NOT • DO NOT take AP classes just because your friends/peers are. Everyone has different ability levels. Take the most challenging classes that YOU can still do well in. • DO NOT take AP classes just to impress colleges. GPA is still the most important factor in college admissions. If you take 6 AP classes but do not do well in them, it will not matter for college admissions that you took them and will negatively impact your application.

  9. Off-Campus ROP Classes • Mission Valley ROP provides relevant career technical education by preparing students for employment and college through industry standard tools, training, and experience. • Important Notes: • Classes are 2 periods in length and are held at the ROP center (They are 1st and 2nd period or 5th and 6th). • Students that take a 1st/2nd period class have to provide their own transportation to ROP. • Course information/videos and requirements can be found at mvrop.org • If a student drops an ROP class, they must add a different ROP class. • NEW this year: • Automotive Technology • Law Enforcement
