25. Registering for your 2017/18 Classes
At Irvington

26. Online Registration
A PORTION of registration will be completed by students online this year on your own time.
Easy to follow directions for requesting courses are included in your registration packet.
Fill out your paper registration form (and get teacher signatures if required) before entering your course requests online.
You will not be able to select teachers or periods. These are course requests.
The online portal will open on Feb 21, 2017 and close during the evening on Feb 26th. More info will come through SchoolLoop.
You will only be able to submit your course requests online once, and you will not be able to change them. Be accurate.
Your counselor will be meeting with you individually to review your entered course requests after your packet deadline, and make sure you have met prerequisites.

27. Registration form is due to your ELD teacher one week from today!
Students will be meeting with their counselor individually to have their online course requests reviewed, and will have the opportunity to ask questions at that time.
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.
Choosing your classes:
If you are in ELD 1 or ELD 2 this year, complete the ELD registration form. If you are in ELD 3 this year, complete the appropriate grade level registration form.
Your current ELD teacher needs to sign your registration form.

28. Social Science:
ELD 1 students: no social science
ELD 2 students: no social science
ELD 3 students: Social Science class will be chosen for you.
Math: ALL math courses have prerequisites (see course option form in registration packet). Your math class for next year will be based on your current math class, current grade and ELD level.
Science:
Your science class for next year will be based on your current science class, current grade and ELD level for next year. See course option form for prerequisites.
12th grade is the only level when students can take more than ONE math course or ONE science course.

29. World Language/Fine Art/ Electives:
Choose your electives thoughtfully based on meeting graduation requirements.
List classes in order of preference and make sure to list an alternate elective. If you do not complete each space 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 Course Options Form.
All 10th grade students will be registered for PE 10 unless Marching Band or 0 period PE has been noted on your registration form.
0 period PE has limited availability. Make sure your elective choices are listed in order of preference in the event 0 period PE cannot be accommodated.
Course Prerequisites: course prerequisites are stated on the Course Options form. Many classes require students to have a teacher recommendation AND a certain 1st semester grade in their current class. Students must have both. Having a teacher recommendation without the grade requirement is not enough to enroll in the class.

30. Proof of residency: Attach COPIES (you will not get them back) of two forms of proof.
Parent and student signatures are required.
Note that:
Course requests cannot be guaranteed
Students will not be able to drop classes once the school year begins.

Your transcript MUST stay attached to this packet!!!!!
