9 th Grade Registration Marvin Ridge High School

Registration Materials  ALL ONLINE on the MRHS School Counseling Page:  Program of Study  Registration Card  4-Year Plan  Waiver Form

What is a Program of Study?

Graduation Requirements  4 English (1, 2, 3, and 4)  4 Math  4 Social Studies  3 Science  1 Health/PE  12 electives  Must have 28 credits to graduate

Foreign Languages  Foreign Language is NOT required for graduation  Almost all NC colleges require at least 2 years of the same foreign language. Most recommend 3 years.  Some SC colleges require 3.  If you want to go to a particular college, look on their website to see what classes are required.

What is a credit?

High School Schedule  2 semesters  4 classes per semester  8 classes per year  8 classes x 4 years of high school = ___ Number of possible credits?

This means you have room to fail 4 classes and still graduate on time.

What classes do 9 th graders take?

 English 1 or English 2  Math (Math 1, Math 2 or Math 3)  Earth Science  World History  Health/PE  3 electives  Fill these in on your 4-year plan for 9 th grade

College Prep vs. Honors Classes  Most core classes have the option of being taken as College Prep (or CP) or Honors level.  Honors level classes are more work, writing, and move quickly.  Starting your sophomore year, you can also take AP classes (college level classes for college credit)  Junior year, can enroll in the IB program

College Prep vs. HonorsClasses  GPA = Grade Point Average  Used by colleges for admissions  Average of all your high school grades  Quality Points  All final grades receive a point

Quality Points College Prep  A = 4  B = 3  C = 2  D = 1  F = 0

Quality Points College Prep  A = 4  B = 3  C = 2  D = 1  F = 0 Honors  A = 5  B = 4  C = 3  D = 2  F = 0

Quality Points College Prep  A = 4  B = 3  C = 2  D = 1  F = 0 Honors  A = 5  B = 4  C = 3  D = 2  F = 0 AP / IB  A = 6  B = 5  C = 4  D = 3  F = 0

How do I sign up for Honors?  Must be RECOMMENDED by your current teachers  Have them sign on your GREEN registration card next to the “CP” or “Honors” level course  Language Arts, Math, Science, Social Studies, Year- long Spanish  If you get recommended for an honors level course, you are not stuck taking honors. You can go down to CP if you would like to.  No Math 1 Honors class, only CP.  If you need a little more practice in pre-algebra before taking Math 1, we offer Foundations of Math 1. Your teacher can also recommend this for you.

What if I am recommended for CP but I want to take honors?  If your teacher recommends you for CP, we HIGHLY recommend you take the CP level course.  If you still want to go to honors, you can have your parents sign a waiver to place you into honors level.  The students who waive into classes are usually the ones that struggle.  It is better to take a CP level course and make an A than take a Honors level course and make a C (remember your quality points!)

Waivers  Middle School Counselors will have these forms if you need one (also online)  Once you sign the waiver, you will NOT be allowed to drop the class in the fall, even if you are struggling!  Some electives are honors courses and will require a waiver. Please pay attention to this in your program of study as you’re choosing electives later on.

Doubling Up in Classes  Taking two math or science courses in one school year:  Not recommended  Only for those planning on taking IB or AP courses Junior and Senior year  Colleges want you to take at least 1 math class per year  Possibility of some classes being in the same semester  Must be recommended for or waive into doubling up

EOCs  You will take 3 EOCs in high school:  Math 1  English 2  Biology

For College:  9 th – 12 th grade courses are all listed on your transcript  Transcript is a summary of all the courses and final grades from high school.  Grades are cumulative  On your transcript is your GPA (comes from your quality points)  SAT/ACT scores  Community Service  Extracurricular Activities
