Registration & Scheduling Information Step 1 Steps to Register Review graduation requirements: Refer to the graduation requirements information beginning on page 3. Step 2 Build, update and/or review an academic plan in Naviance: Students are encouraged to create their four-year plan as early as possible, and review and update this document on an ongoing basis. The four-year planning process should encompass both high school and post-high school plans. Different colleges, universities, and training programs have a variety of entrance requirements. To help determine the courses needed in high school, research the specific requirements of any college or other post-high school program of interest. Contact programs directly or visit the Career Center for information and assistance. Step 3 Use the student transcript to fill out a Graduation Checklist: The counseling department will provide an unofficial transcript to students currently enrolled in high school. The Graduation Checklists are on pages 5 and 6 of this course catalog. Check the unofficial transcript online using LMS or Naviance. After completing graduation requirements check and review this information with a parent/guardian. See a school counselor for assistance. Step 5 Fill out the pre-registration worksheet: The preregistration worksheets on pages 13-16 of this course catalog are given to new students when they enroll at Everett Public Schools. Use this worksheet to plan requests for the next year. Choose alternate classes! If enough alternates are not chosen, Everett Public Schools reserves the right to place students in courses not requested, if necessary, to ensure students maintain full schedules. Step 6 Registration: During spring pre-registration, students are given a course catalog, their transcript, and instructions for entering pre-registration course requests online (also on page 17 of this course catalog). After requests and alternates are chosen students log on at home to the Home Access Center (HAC) on page 11, and input their selections. For students who do not have Internet access or have difficulty with the pre-registration process, contact the counseling department for assistance. Step 7 Getting school year class schedules: Students receive their official schedules on or just before the first day of school for each semester. Step 4 Review course information in this course catalog: Pay special attention to prerequisites and other course requirements to avoid mistakenly requesting courses that are not allowed. When a student requests a course he or she is not qualified to take, high schools reserve the right to add prerequisite course(s) to a student’s list of requests.

Full Schedule Requirement Students earning a diploma through Everett Public Schools must be enrolled in a full schedule of classes each term. Seniors on target for graduation may request early dismissal and/or late arrival that will allow them to have a shortened schedule. Requests for shortened schedules must be approved by the student’s parent/guardian and counselor. See the counseling department for permission forms. Schedule Change Policy Schedule changes will not be made based on lunch period or teacher preferences. Schedules reflect what students signed up for during spring pre-registration. If a student has a concern with a specific teacher, he or she needs to meet with the teacher/parent/guardian/counselor/ administrator to work out a solution to the conflict. Schedule Changes If space is available, schedule changes may ONLY be made during the add/drop period for each semester or term, described as follows: • Cascade High School, 10 days • Everett High School, 5 days for student-initiated requests • Henry M. Jackson High School, 5 days for student-initiated requests Although Everett Public Schools would not dispute that it would be ideal to match each student with the teachers of choice, it would be irresponsible to create a policy that does not have the capacity to fairly apply to all students. High schools do not have the capacity to make schedule changes for personality differences, teaching styles, or learning styles, which is why these requests are not honored. Adds/Drops After the 10th day of the Semester A student will receive a failing grade for a class that is dropped, unless there is a documented medical reason, in which case, a grade of NC (no credit) will be received. A student may not earn credit in classes added after day 10 of the school year except with principal approval. Enrollment in Yearlong Classes A student who enrolls in a yearlong class will be expected to remain in the course for the full year. Students may not drop a yearlong class at the semester to take the class online or through Running Start, unless that is in the original pre-registration yearlong plan. NOTE: Everett Public Schools reserves the right to change a student’s schedule without prior student notifi cation. • Sequoia High School, see counseling department • OnlineHS, 5 days Changes may be made ONLY for the following reasons: If a student is a senior and needs the class as a graduation requirement. If a student previously failed the course with the same teacher. If a student failed a prerequisite course (e.g., math or science) and needs to retake the prerequisite course. If a student hasn’t taken a prerequisite course for a class he or she is scheduled to take. There was a technical error with a student’s schedule. If a student was placed in a class he or she did not pre-register for (this includes primary requests and alternates) and there is room in another course that was pre-registered for. If a student did not fi t the above criteria, a schedule change cannot occur. EVERETT PUBLIC SCHOOLS 12 HIGH SCHOOL COURSE CATALOG 2017/2018
