AGENDA
I.
(5 min)
a. Take attendance and read the following
“Today we are going to learn about the registration process for next year.
It is very important that you understand the registration process as the
courses you choose today will be the only courses you will be allowed to
take next year. The choices you will make will be based on your
graduation requirements and your post high school plans.”
b. Distribute the KSD Graduation Requirement Check Sheet and the
Individual Student Transcript
II.
(10 min)
a. Please read the following
“Please look at KSD Graduation Requirement Check Sheet. This sheet is
used to calculate graduation requirements. A total of 23 credits is required
to graduate from KR. Each subject area is listed with the number of credits
required as represented by the boxes which correspond to 0.5 credits. The
first subject area is language arts which requires four credits so you can
see that there are eight boxes. Look at your transcript and see how many
semesters of language arts courses you have passed to this point. Check
off the appropriate number of boxes for each language arts course you
have passed. At this time complete the entire KSD Graduation
Requirement Check Sheet using your transcript as a guide.
b. Give students time to review their transcript and check off their
boxes that correspond to the courses they have passed.
III.
(20 min)
a. Please distribute the KR Course Selection sheet and read the
following
“When looking at your course selection sheet you will begin to choose
your courses for next year. It is very important that you remember to use
your four year plan, 13th year plan and the graduation requirements to
guide you in the choices you are going to make. Please follow along as I
read the directions on the top of the course selection sheet.”
b. Read the directions on the top of the course selection sheet now.
Then read the following:
“When you look at your course selection sheet, notice the box in the left
hand corner that lists required courses. You will need to choose one
language arts class, one math class and one social studies class. After you
finish selecting the required courses, look through the remaining courses
to make your selections. Once you have made your selections, your total
credits should add up to 6.0. At this time also choose three alternative
course selections in order of preference in case one of your first choices
cannot be scheduled. You will be held accountable to these choices only!”
c. Give students time to complete their course selections.
IV.
(5 min)
a. Please read the following
“You must bring the completed course selection sheet with your signature
and your parent’s signature to school on Wednesday, March 5th as you will
be using this sheet to complete your online registration process. Students
who do not bring the course selection sheet on Wednesday, March 5th will
be registering when all other students have completed the process. If you
need further assistance before Wednesday, March 5th, counselors will be
visiting all sophomore pods. If you need additional information about
specific courses you can access course descriptions on the Kentridge
website. Are there any questions I can answer for you. ”
