Updated: 2/2013
Registration form is due to your English teacher
March 18th!
• If there is a possibility you might not be at IHS next year, register for classes
anyway so you have a spot in the event you stay.
• Step 1: Chose your English and US History option. All 11th
graders must take these two classes.
• If you are applying or reapplying to an academy, you may have
to complete an application. Go to irvington.org under the
programs tab.
• Family Coordinators:
• SHAPE: Ms. Avina: [email protected]
• ITA: Mr. Albizo: [email protected]
• CCA: Ms. Holmberg: [email protected]
• NMAA: Ms. Burton [email protected]
• www.nmaaihs.org
• Step 2: Complete if you are taking AP Classes. Students
must get teacher approval for EVERY AP class they take.
AP Classes
EVERY STUDENT that is registering for ANY AP course must complete the
AP Registration Form and attach it to their registration packet. Extra copies
can be found online at irvington.org under the “counselors” tab.
• Step 3: Complete if you are registering for AP English or AP
US History. If you are signing up for AP English, you will
have to attend a mandatory meeting that will be
announced at a later time.
• Step 4: Choose a math class. You will need to have your
current math teacher’s recommendation for any math
class.
• Step 5: Complete if you are registering for an AP Math
class.
• Step 6: Choose your electives. English, US History and Math are
the only required classes for 11th graders (unless you are
missing credits in a subject area). Science and Language are
considered electives in 11th grade.
•
Choose your electives thoughtfully based on meeting
graduation requirements and college admission requirements.
•
List classes in order of preference and make sure to list an
alternate elective. If you do not add an alternate elective and
the class you want is full, an elective will be chosen for you.
•
Make sure to have teachers sign for EVERY course that requires a
teacher’s signature or the course request will not be honored.
Courses that need a signature say [Teacher Rec.] next to them
on the Elective Options Form. This includes level 3 and higher of
a language and studio art.
Graduation/ UC/CSU Requirements
Keep these in mind when registering for your classes.
• English: 40 credits
• History: 30 credits
• Math: 30 credits (including both semesters of Algebra 1) CSU/UC: At least
Geometry and Algebra 2
• Fine Art/ World Language: You need 10 credits of a Fine Art OR World

a language are needed.
• Health: 5 credits required
• PE: 20 credits required
• Science: 20 credits required. CSU/UC: Prefer Biology and Chemistry or
Biology and Physics.

elective).

Every class at Irvington that fulfills
an a-g subject requirement for
CSU and UC admission can be
found on this list.
AP Classes
If you are registering for AP classes:
•
•
•
Make sure you are prepared and have an interest in the subject.
Make sure you will have the time necessary to be successful in all of your
classes.
•
Remember to take into consideration clubs, extra-curricular
activities, job/volunteer work, etc.
•
AP and honors classes cannot be made up in summer school so
if you do poorly, you are stuck with the NC.
Understand that you will not have the opportunity to transfer to a college
prep course once the school year begins. The number of spaces in
college prep classes are based on student requests at the time of
registration.
DO NOT
•
•
DO NOT take AP classes just because your friends/peers are. Everyone
has different ability levels. Take the most challenging classes that YOU
can still do well in.
DO NOT take AP classes just to impress colleges. GPA is still the most
important factor in college admissions. If you take 6 AP classes but do not
do well in them, it will not matter for college admissions that you took
them and will negatively impact your application.
