High School Course Catalog 2009-2010 - Fremont Unified School ...

Selecting a Course of Study
A word about making decisions . . .
This course catalog contains basic information about the course of study at all high schools in Fremont Unified School
District. Look it over carefully. As you investigate your choices for the upcoming school year, we ask that you consider
the following suggestions:
° Read the information yourself and go after more information if you need it. Do not make decisions based on
guesses or biases and remember that choices that are appropriate for your friends may not be the right ones for you.
° Work with a pencil and use this booklet as a workbook: underline, make marginal notes, mark your requirements,
and list your alternatives.
° Use the graduation requirements for your graduating class to check off what you have completed and to see what
you still need to complete. The four-year planning form will also help you see what requirements should be met
during the upcoming year.
° Consider college entrance requirements in making your choices, if you plan on going to college. If you are
undecided about college now, keep your options open by taking the most rigorous courses you can manage.
° Involve your parents in your decision-making process.
° Talk to staff members who know your capabilities and/or aspirations.
° Make thoughtful choices. The master schedule of classes and the assignment of instructors to teach those classes are
based on the courses you choose.
