19. Teacher Recommendations
All first and second semester teachers in core classes will make a recommendation for your child’s next-appropriate course level.
Students should follow their teachers’ recommendations, and take the most rigorous schedule that is appropriate for them.
Counselors will review students’ selections, and make additional suggestions.

20. My student is just starting his math course in 2nd Semester – how will he know if he will meet the prerequisite for next year’s math course right now?

21. Review of Course selections
Students should recommend the “next course” in sequence. (See grids in Program of Studies).
Levels should depend on student’s past and present performance in class, their interest levels, and their willingness to maintain the required level of rigor.
We review students course selections again in May, and make sure they’re meeting the prerequisites for that course. If not, we will adjust levels for next year.
