Students must select courses that are specific to their grade level
or in accordance with the course sequence in each subject area. For
instance if you are rising 10th grade student who has completed
chemistry, a typical grade 10 class, you should select the next course
in the science sequence, biology. Please pay careful attention to grade
level and prerequisites listed at the bottom of each course description
and refer to course level recommendations from teachers, when selecting
courses. Parent/guardian must email or call their child’s guidance
counselor if the student is selecting a course level that was not
recommended by the teacher. For more information on course sequencing by
grade level, click on your child's current grade level: 9th grade | 10th grade | 11th grade.
