All students must successfully complete CPR instruction in order to graduate. Instruction is offered
through the 8th grade Healthful Living course. Students who do not successfully complete CPR instruction in a North Carolina school in 8th grade need to be given the opportunity to complete this 1 hour lesson during high school.

Other Math NotesO Students coming from traditional pathway
with Alg I/Geom or Alg I/Alg II credit strongly recommended to take both Math II & III – otherwise there will be significant gaps
Other Math NotesO New/revised math courses not expected
before 2017-18 school yearO Repeating a course for credit can be a helpful
option for rising 9th graders who took Math II or III and struggled (especially for schools not offering Math Plus)
ScienceConsiderations for 9th Grade Placement:
O Review student data for Math AND Language Arts before placing in Honors Biology
O If students are not prepared for Honors Biology, consider Honors Earth/Environmental (not Academic Biology)
O Student choice/interest should drive selections for Honors Biology vs. Honors Earth/Environmental Science when data supports both courses
