school, college, military or work.

Basic Scheduling Instructions

A Word About Honors Courses

• You do not need to take EVERY honors course to get in to a good college.

• Take honors in areas you are good at and like. If you are getting C’s in honors – you should take regular next year.

• Make sure you are considering the time these classes take!! Balance is important

• Selective schools and scholarship sponsors are looking for the WHOLE package – that means some honors, good ACT scores, activities, leadership , etc.

• Grades for aides will be ‘CR’ or ‘NC” & grades do not figure into either GPA

• Students may only aide for one hour per semester

Aides (11-12 only)

Students will print a copy of their enrollment requests and bring them

home to be signed by a parent.This form must be turned in to the Counseling Office by 3PM March 7

(for 8th graders – by March 9):If they don’t turn parent signed forms

in…the computer will make their schedule without student input.

At EHS we make the ENTIRE Master Schedule based on Student Requests SO:

Schedule Change RulesChanges will only be made for the following reasons:A. There is an error (caused by the computer or office)B. Your teacher believes that you have been misplaced in a course

or you must move due to 1st semester failure

If you are CAPABLE (teacher recommends),and you COMMIT to the course (by enrolling/parents signing off),then you are expected to COMPLETE the course.

I work too many hours or my outside activities are getting in the way I need to change my classes – you will have to change your hours or activities….school is your first priority.
