Make sure you list three alternate classes in case we can’t fulfill all of your elective choices. Alternate classes must be different than your required classes, or others you have already selected. 2. Consider taking classes from a variety of departments (i.e. Industrial Technology, Business, Family and Consumer Science, Music). 3. Math recommendations have been made by the middle school staff. If in doubt, ask your math teacher. 4. Introduction to Computer Applications/Digital Citizenship or Computer Applications/Digital Citizenship is a required course to graduate. Most students take it as a 9th grader. 5. World Language is not required to graduate from high school. World language is required for most students attending a four year college. You will need to take four trimesters of the same language during your years at CIHS. Students with strong English skills will probably be successful in World Language as a 9th grader. World Language teachers recommend starting in your freshman year. If you register for a World Language class, you MUST register for both the A and B sections. 6. Band and/or Choir is a year long course. Each class is worth 1.5 credits for the year. 7. Remember: Once you make your request for a class, it is very difficult to make changes. Think carefully about your selections. Reminder: Student should register for 14-15 credits AND 3 Alternate choices Students not taking band or choir will register for 15 credits Students taking band or choir will register for 14.5 credits. Students taking band and choir will register for 15 credits Incoming 9th Grade Student Registration Schedule: Thursday, February 6th: Turn in registration materials to your math/social studies teacher: º Mr. Rothbauer at IMS º Mr. Brantley at the Minnesota Center º Mr. Nelson, Ms. Vaske, or Mr. Houtsma at CMS º Your case manager if you have an IEP Thursday, February 13th: Online registration at Cambridge Middle School Friday, February 14th: Online registration at Isanti Middle School and the Minnesota Center What Do I Do After I’ve Selected My Classes?
