Dear Parents and Students,<br />
The information contained in this booklet is intended to give you a better understanding<br />
of the curriculum requirements at <strong>Flour</strong> <strong>Bluff</strong> <strong>Junior</strong> <strong>High</strong> School. An understanding of these<br />
requirements is essential as you prepare to pre-register for the next school year. Please review<br />
the information carefully and become acquainted with the courses being offered.<br />
It is important to remember that eligibility for some courses is based on standardized test<br />
scores, report card grades, teacher recommendations, and/or completion of prerequisite courses.<br />
Study the eligibility requirements and determine how they may affect your options.<br />
At the seventh grade level, students are tested in writing, reading, and mathematics. At<br />
the eighth grade level, students are tested in reading, mathematics, science, and social studies.<br />
The State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) assessment is comprehensive<br />
and very rigorous. STAAR is based on the state-mandated curriculum, the Texas Essential<br />
Knowledge and Skills. Students who are taking Algebra I will be required to take the<br />
appropriate STAAR End-Of-Course exams and their grade level STAAR exams.<br />
In planning for the next school year, you will have the opportunity to select an elective.<br />
A description of the electives offered is contained in this booklet. Some electives are semester<br />
courses, and other electives are full year courses; therefore, give your choice of an elective<br />
careful thought. The elective should be selected according to individual interests and/or career<br />
goals.<br />
The <strong>Junior</strong> <strong>High</strong> School staff looks forward to working with you during pre-registration<br />
activities. Please do not hesitate to contact the office if you have any questions. The<br />
administrators, counselors, and teachers will be happy to assist you.<br />
Cindy Holder,<br />
Principal<br />
