INTRODUCTION Welcome to the 2010 Guide to High School Credit Courses for Albemarle County Public Schools. This guide is provided as a tool to enable you to embrace learning, to excel in your work and readiness for a career and education beyond high school, and to own your future! January is the time of year for students to make plans and choose courses for the coming school year. As a part of this process, the Guide to High School Credit Courses is provided to assist you with course selections and long-term educational/career planning. School counselors, in collaboration with parents and teachers, assist each student in planning a program of study and selecting courses for the next school year. How to Use This Guide On page 3 of this guide, you will find a five-year planning form. This form does not take the place of your career plan; rather, it is meant to be used as a planning worksheet by you, your parents, and your school counselor. This guide is organized in sections as outlined in the table of contents. The guide begins by identifying specialty centers and specialty programs offered at the high school level so you can think about pathways leading to them, if you choose. Next, the guide is divided into department and course subject areas. For each core subject, a chart is included to show how different course decisions will affect your path through the subject area. The final sections of this guide include general information about graduation requirements, diploma options, and programs for enrichment. An index is also provided on pages 90-92. January is the time of year for students to make plans and choose courses for the coming school year. The Process Timeline Course selection for the upcoming year is an opportunity for you to think carefully about your interests, achievements, and educational and career goals. Give very serious consideration to this registration process. Here is the timeline: January January January/February January/February April May June 1. Guide to High School Credit Courses will be made available to students and parents in January to make preliminary selections and plans. 2. Teacher recommendations will be completed for each student in mid-January. 3. Curriculum Expos for current high school students and rising 9th graders will take place in January or February. 4. Classroom Presentations and Small Group Program Planning Sessions will take place with school counselors in January and February as they visit classrooms to explain the Guide to High School Credit Courses. School counselors will begin meeting with students individually to review teacher recommendations, five year plans, and transcripts. 5. Students may schedule a meeting with school counselors to select courses through April. 6. Copies of course selections will be sent home in May. 7. To allow for the building of a balanced master schedule, all course request adjustments must be made by June 10. To ensure the best choice of courses, especially elective courses, all selections should be given your most thoughtful consideration. Your school will develop the master schedule and allocate teaching staff around students’ choices early in the process, so alternate courses may not be available at a later date.
