WHAT IS ARTICULATION?
Articulation is the process we use for students to choose their classes for the next school year.
Counselors will present information about the next year's courses to each grade level during their English class and then have individual meetings with each student at a later date to review their choices. (See details below.) Student course requests are loaded into the master scheduler later in the spring semester.
WHAT YOU SHOULD CONSIDER WHEN CHOOSING CLASSES:
· Current grades in classes (First semester grades are used to determine eligibility)
· Prerequisites (Requirements, whether class and/or grades, that must be met prior to moving to the next level)
- Please review the Academic Handbook for course descriptions, prerequisites/recommendations, and other useful information
· Teacher Recommendation (Speak with your current teacher and possibly a potential future teacher)
· Overall workload of classes, BALANCE! (Keep in mind outside of school commitments as well, i.e.sports, community service, job, family responsibilities, college applications, etc.)
· Future classes(will you need a class to meet the prerequisite for classes in a future year.)
· College and/or major admissions requirements
