Your handout should include a copy of the power point presentation in note form so that you can take notes as we discuss specific points
Also included is the course selection sheet for next year with the courses we anticipate to offer at Round Rock High School (subject to change)
Not all courses in the course catalog online at roundrockisd.org are offered on our campus, so it is important you go by our course selection sheet

4. First, enter your name, id number, and next year’s grade level on the top line of the Registration Sheet for If you are a sophomore, your choice sheet is green. If you are a junior, your choice sheet is blue. Next, check off which graduation plan you hope to graduate under.

5. Beginning with the Class of 2015, the End of Course Exam grades will also determine eligibility for the Distinguished and Summa Cum Laude Graduation Programs. The exact scores are yet to be determined and are under discussion at this time.

6. All current students must indicate which Academy they are in (only one).
Academy students receive priority for those Academy specific classes should space availability be an issue.
As we discuss which classes to take in English, Math, Science, and Social Studies, please circle the number and name of that course on your Registration Sheet if it is already on the sheet. Otherwise, please write in the number and name of the course.

7. All Round Rock High School Students must be in an Academy
All Round Rock High School Students must be in an Academy. The Academies and the Programs of Studies are listed on the course listing sheets. There are *’s in front of the required courses, in order of sequence, under each Program of Study.

8. Procedures for filling out the Registration at home
Look over the graduation plans in the course catalog (can be found on-line at roundrockisd.org under the Academics tab) and determine which courses are required by RRISD for graduation.
2. Review the 4 year graduation plan you discussed with your counselor most recently.
3. Discuss your classes carefully with your parents/guardians because no schedule changes will be allowed once school begins in August.
4. Obtain signatures (if necessary) from your teachers (athletics, band, and orchestra, Dragonettes, cheerleading, etc) to indicate which level you should be in next year, as well as verification you are on the team, etc.
5. Have your parent/guardian sign and YOU sign the form.
6. All students will return their signed course selection forms to your science teacher by Monday, February 25th.

9. QUESTIONS??? Questions you have during the presentation?
Write them on a piece of paper
Turn the paper in to your teacher before you leave class
The Counselors will create a FAQ sheet
based on all the questions asked and will

Your first elective should be your next level of Foreign Language
Next you need to put in your required Academy class
Following that should be any graduation requirements you have not met yet (P.E., Fine Arts, Communication Applications, Health, Technology)
Juniors and Seniors will not be allowed to have an off- period if they have failed a course. They will be placed in Credit Plus (or repeating the failed course) instead.
****Any student failing TAKS (especially in math or science) may be required to take a TAKS remediation class in lieu of an elective or off period.

22. THINGS TO REMEMBER
Football, basketball, volleyball, baseball, and Dragonettes are double blocked and therefore take the place of two classes – sports and Dragonettes require a coach/instructor signature.
Band members sign up for two different band classes (check with your instructor to determine which classes to sign up for and obtain a signature).
When in doubt, ask your current teachers which class you should sign up for next in that subject area.
If you do not turn in a course selection sheet, your counselor will select for you and you will have no choice on your classes.

23. Teacher Signatures Needed?
Athletic Coaches
Dragonettes
Band (specific sections)
Orchestra (specific sections)

See course catalog class descriptions to determine if there is a requirement of an application or teacher approval

24. CHOOSE CAREFULLY!!!!!!
You will NOT be able to change classes once school begins, so be very careful in your course selections!!!!
Since you may not be able to get in every elective class you want, be very certain you put your elective choices in the order of your preference.

25. Include 3 alternate elective courses, in the order of your preference.
Include your and cell/home number in case your counselor needs to contact you over the summer regarding your choices.
Challenge yourself but know your own limits, especially if you are involved in extracurricular activities.
