Making Up Credits
 If you failed a class freshman or sophomore year,
be certain to add the class(es) you failed first

pull down, select “make-up S1”.
 Let us know as we progress through second
semester, if a class is failed and needs to be added
to your schedule.
Total Credits
 Check your total credits. Beginning with the 07-08
school year, a junior must earn 20 credits or more
in their first two years of high school in order to
qualify for privileges like parking, etc. Second
semester juniors must earn 25 credits to qualify for

you meet with a counselor in the library.
 Forms must be complete including alternates and a
parent and student signature.
 Classes are based on numbers - Critical to turn in
on time, especially since now we are requesting
class via Power School
Questions???
 If you can not find class on the dropdown menu, check the prerequisites in the course planning guide. Chances are the class is not
offer in your sophomore year or it is offer in a different semester.
 How do I know if a class is a full year class or a semester class? Look
in the CPG and if a class is for 2 credits, it is a full year class. A class
for 1 credit, is a semester class.
