Two years of foreign language is highly recommended for college-bound students. Any high school course taken during middle school will be included in student’s GPA,

class rank, and documented on the official high school transcript unless they receive a

SCHEDULING INFORMATION

When students choose classes, it is best that be realistic about themselves—their abilities,

interests, assets and limitations. Students should read the course descriptions—all class

offerings are listed by department, including any prerequisites and additional fees.

Students should choose the courses that will best prepare them for what they want to do

after graduation. Students should discuss course selections with parents in advance

before they discuss with their schoolcounselor. Prior to freshmen year, students will be

choosing a pathway that will show them what ther schedule might look like over the

course of their 4 years at Griffith High School.

Any fees for courses are subject to change.

SCHEDULE CHANGES

The master schedule is developed each year based upon students’ course/pathway

selections. Teacher assignments and sections offered are determined by the number of

student requests for courses. If a conflict occurs in the elective courses you have

selected, alternate course selections will be used, so give careful thought to the courses

you select both for your schedule and for your alternates. Once the schedule has been

finalized, there will be very limited reasons for making/requesting a schedule change.

Schedule changes in core subjects will require a parent/guardian signature. There is no dropping of an AP course. You must put careful thought into the rigor of your course selections.

� 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.

ADVANCED PLACEMENT COURSES

These are college-level courses taught at the high school. We currently offer AP Computer Science A, AP Computer Science Principles, AP English Literature, AP English Language, AP Spanish, AP Calculus AB, AP Calculus BC, AP Statistics, AP Chemistry, AP U.S. History, AP Government, AP Psychology, and AP Human Geography. In May, students are required to take the Advanced Placement exams and, depending on their scores, may earn college credit from the school they plan to attend. Check the course descriptions for more information about course content and required background. Some of the Advanced Placement classes require specific applications and selection before enrolling. Due to the difficulty level of the work involved, a semester grade of A, B, or C in an Advanced Placement class will count one additional point in GPA calculations; however, the letter grade itself will remain the same. Grading Scale: Regular Scale Weighted Scale

(Semester grade A = 4.0 A = 5.0 only) B = 3.0 B = 4.0 C = 2.0 C = 3.0 D = 1.0 D = 1.0 F = 0.0 F = 0.0 For example, if you earn a semester grade of “B” in an Advanced Placement course, it is recorded as a “B” on your transcript; however, it will be worth four points when calculating your cumulative GPA instead of three. Notice that a “D” counts as one point and a failing grade counts as zero points on either scale.
