Using your credit check sheet as a guide, circle the course and level for each academic area that you need to take next year.

If you are taking an AP or PAP class you must have a signed contract on file in the counseling office. Make sure that you READ both sides and sign the back acknowledging the requirements of the program. These forms are available from your advisor, the counseling office, or from the counselors during lunch

in the cafeteria. No contract, no PAP/AP class!!

If you have completed and passed your technology applications credit then skip this section, if not, make your choice and circle it.

If you have completed and passed your fine arts credit then skip this section, if not, make your choice and circle it. You will not need to get a signature from the director to participate in the class of your choice, i.e., Band, orchestra, advanced theater classes, choir, drill team, stage production; however, you must be on the roster provided by the instructor to be enrolled in the course. Be sure to check with the instructor to inform him/her of your intent to be in their program.

If you have completed and passed your professional communications credit then skip this section, if not, circle it.

If you have completed and passed your required foreign language credits then skip this section, if not, make your choice and circle it.

You are required to have 1-1/2 credits of PE/athletics for graduation, so if you have completed your PE requirements then skip this section. If you are an athlete you will be scheduled into the class when your name appears on the roster that the coach will provide the counselors.

Health is also required, but if you have already passed this course skip this section. If not, circle it.

Using the elective sheet, choose

electives from your career cluster

choice; write the electives in the

elective box under the year in

which you plan to take that

particular elective.

Refer to the academic handbook

for choices, grade level

restrictions, pre-requisites, and

recommendations (available on-

line).

List the Career Cluster and possible Career Choices you chose from the Electives by Career Cluster Form. These Career Choices will be related to your Career Interests or Goals.

The elective section is very important. You must completely fill in your elective choices, in order of preference, according to your chosen career cluster. Failure to completely fill in this section will allow your counselor to choose your courses for you and

you WILL NOT be allowed a schedule change.

Write the electives in the box; remember to write your electives in order of preference.
