MAKE A GOOD DECISION
In making your course selection, consider your entire high school career and future plans. Plan ahead. Based
on your selections, teachers will be assigned; books and materials will be ordered. Please try to be as accurate
as you can when choosing you classes. Class changes after the initial sign-up are becoming more difficult to
make. Please consider “alternate course selections” very carefully because they may become a part of your
schedule. Information on schedule changes will be sent home with your 4th cycle grade card.
ALL STUDENTS WHO HAVE MET GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS PRIOR TO
8 SEMESTERS MUST DO ONE OF THE FOLLOWING:
1. Students who plan on going to college must submit proof of enrollment. This proof must be your
college schedule for the spring semester of the current year. Acceptance letters are not acceptable.
2. Students who plan on going to the military must show ship date papers.
3. Students may sign up to take IVYT 101 (First Year Seminar – Career Class). This class will be taught
either at the high school or at John Jay.
4. Students may take Work Based Learning (WBL), which is a work study program. Certain
requirements must be met to take this class. Ask your work study teacher for details.
5. Students may take a shortened schedule.

The completion of Core 40 is an Indiana graduation requirement. Indiana’s Core 40 curriculum
provides the academic foundation all students need to succeed in college and the workforce.
To graduate with less than Core 40, the following formal opt-out process must be completed:
 The student, the student’s parent/guardian, and the student’s counselor (or another staff member who assists
students in course selection) must meet to discuss the student’s progress.

The student’s Graduation Plan (including four year course plan) is reviewed.

The student’s parent/guardian determines whether the student will achieve greater educational benefits by
completing the general curriculum or the Core 40 curriculum.

If the decision is made to opt-out of Core 40, the student is required to complete the course and credit
requirements for a general diploma and the career/academic sequence the student will pursue is determined.
