The Registration Process

  Planning is a vital part of a well designed program. Toward the end of the eighth grade, freshmen course selections are made upon the recommendations of the eight grade teachers with the consent of the parents. During the first year of high school, counselors, advisors, and/or teachers will meet with freshmen in a group setting to develop the Tentative Four-Year-Plan of study. The purpose of the plan is to familiarize students with graduation requirements and diploma options. With the appropriate selection of electives and requirements, freshmen will have opportunities to receive the preparation needed to reach desired goals.
While administrators, counselors, teachers, advisors and parents have an important role to play in the planning process, ultimately it is the responsibility of the student to register for and pass all courses and assessments required for their chosen diploma. As Students register for each semester, teachers will advise them about course selection based upon prior performance in the particular subject area.

It is important to remember that the Four-Year-Plan is a planning tool, meant to be changed and/or modified as students progress through high school. If students or parents are unsure of how particular course selections affect progress toward graduation , then consultation with administrators, counselors, advisors and/or teachers may be appropriate.

STUDENTS MAY NOT ALWAYS GET ALL THE COURSES THEY WANT AT THE EXACT TIME THEY REQUEST. COURSES NEEDED FOR GRADUATION WILL GET PRIORITY.

Schedule Requests

 Each student will be given a copy of his or her course request for the next school year at the conclusion of the registering process. A copy of each student’s course request for the next year will be sent home with the student. If you would like to modify the course request, please contact your students’ counselor. At Shiloh High School, Each student sits with a teacher, counselor, or administrator to enter their course requests into the computer system used for scheduling. The entire registration process will take place through 1st block classes.

Schedule Changes

 Students will have a limited number of days after a semester begins to request a schedule change. Legitimate reasons for dropping/adding within the limited number of days may include these situations.

• The student has already received maximum credit for the course.
• The student is taking a course out of sequence.

Since all students are required to take 4 classes each semester, any class dropped during this time must be replaced with another class. Such additions of courses will be contingent on available space in the class the student wishes to add. Changes in student schedules will not be made to move a student from one teacher to another or from one block to another unless the school must do so to balance class sizes.
