What classes do you need to graduate?

Reading the Graduation Requirement Report What you need What you’ve completed What’s in your current schedule What’s left! (In Progress comes off Remain and goes to Complete once you pass the class.) (Ignore these columns)

Reading the Graduation Requirement Report So for example, this Junior student’s English progress is as follows: English 9 – needs 1.0, has 1.0, so is complete (note the “Status” column) English 10 – needs 1.0, has 1.0, so is complete English 11 – needs 1.0, is enrolled for the full year (first semester grade not entered yet) so it’s “IN PROGRESS.” English 12 – needs 1.0, has 0, this student will sign up for English 12! New students: You may not have previous school’s credits reflected if your counselor has not received an official transcript from your last school.

LHS COURSE PLANNING GUIDE & CHOOSING CLASSES

Using the LHS Course Planning Guide

 The Course Planning Guide is only available online through the Lynnwood High School Website.  The following slides will show you where to find it and how to use it to help you choose the classes you want.

Where to find the LHS Course Planning Guide Go to the LHS website Go to the LHS website and click on the “Counseling” tab. Then select LHS Course Planning Guide.

A tip for finding information: When the Planning Guide opens, find what you are looking for by using the “Search” or “Find” function of your browser.

For example, to find information on the course Graphic Arts 1, type it in and hit “search.”

All instances of Graphic Arts 1 appear and you can click on each item. Notice the first one takes you to the LHS Course Summary.

This one takes you to the Course Description.

Using the LHS Course Planning Guide Figure out where you stand with requirements.

Using the LHS High School Planning Guide Figure out where you stand with requirements (chart on page 6). Remember: Once you complete an area, additional credits in that area are applied to “Electives” (ex. After you have 1.0 credits in Art, additional Art credits go to Electives). In some instances, you may be able to use an equivalency to meet a requirement (ex. 2.0 Sports Med credit can be used for 1.0 PE credit.); see your counselor with questions. Check your LHS graduation requirements against the requirements to apply to a four year college. There are some differences…
