INTRODUCTION Welcome to Allatoona High School — Home of the Buccaneers! We look forward to

your arrival in August 2011. We know that you will continue working hard during the

second semester of middle school to prepare yourself for the transition to high school.

Allatoona High is currently on a 4x4 Block schedule. This means that you will have four

classes that you take during semester one and four different classes that you take

during semester two. Each of the four blocks of instruction is 95 minutes long. A

typical schedule includes two core and two elective classes each semester. Health and

Personal Fitness (BPE) are half-credit classes, and students complete each of them in

concurrent 9-week quarters. (See sample schedules on page 5.)

When you enter high school, every class you take will affect your Grade Point Average

(GPA). Performing well in a class affects your GPA positively, while performing poorly

in a class affects your GPA negatively. Your academic performance also determines

whether or not you are promoted to the next grade. Students must earn credit in math,

science, and English each academic year and have accumulated a certain number of

overall credits to be eligible for promotion.

During registration, your teachers will recommend your core classes based upon

performance criteria and your academic achievement. You, with your parents’

assistance, will select your elective courses. It is important for you to choose courses

that interest you and do your best in all of your classes. If you have questions about

registration or course selection, then you and your parent(s) should attend our 8th

Grade Parent Night on Thursday, February 10, 2011, at 6:30 p.m. in the Allatoona

High Theater. Your 8th grade counselor can also answer registration questions.

If you are interested in Honors or AP courses, please attend our Honors & AP

Showcase on Tuesday, February 15, 2011 at 6:30 p.m. in the Allatoona Theater.

REGISTRATION DIRECTIONS

Typically, all high school students take four core classes and four electives in each academic year. Your eighth grade teachers will evaluate your achievement level, work habits, and current grades to determine the academic core classes for which you should be registered. YOU must select your elective courses and alternates. Since all ninth grade students are required to take Health and Personal Fitness (BPE) as their first elective, you will need to select three more electives. Follow the steps listed below to complete the registration process: 1. Read this registration handbook completely including course descriptions. This information

will provide you with descriptions of the academic core courses and help you make good elective choices. Review and discuss elective choices with your parents.

Core courses are listed as a reference only and are marked with TR (Teacher Recommendation). Teachers use the CCSD Ninth Grade Placement Chart as a guide for recommending core classes. This chart can be accessed online:

http://www.cobbk12.org/centraloffice/specialstudents/schoolcounseling/Advisement/PlacementChart2010-11NinthGraders.doc

Students who enroll in ―Combo Courses‖ (band, chorus, orchestra, NJROTC, and construction technology) must use TWO ELECTIVES for these courses and record both course numbers on their registration worksheet.

Since foreign language courses are elective, teachers do NOT recommend these courses. You must use one of your electives to select a foreign language.

2. Select three (3) elective courses and two (2) alternates from the elective courses listed in

the course section of this handbook. Using the Allatoona Elective Course Registration Worksheet (the orange page at the end of this registration handbook), record the course title and course number for each elective and alternate in the spaces provided. Sign the worksheet at the bottom in the space provided. Parents should review these courses and sign the completed registration worksheet at

the bottom in the space provided. Note: If you are recommended by your teacher to take an academic support class, then your

third elective will be replaced with the support class. 3. Return the completed and signed registration worksheet to your teacher. Your teacher will

check your elective and alternate course selections and attach the worksheet to the Official Registration Form that contains your academic core classes for which you have been recommended. Then the course requests will be input into the scheduling database.

*Students who do not return their Allatoona Elective Course Registration Worksheets will forfeit their opportunity to select their own electives.

4. WAIVER PROCEDURES: We will mail a Registration Verification form in late March or early April showing all classes (both academic core and electives) for which you are registered. If any of the courses listed on the form are incorrect, then follow the directions on the form to replace the course(s).

NOTE: Students planning to enter or transfer into a University System of Georgia institution MUST take two units of the same modern language/Latin. Students may earn three units of credit in a coherent sequence of CTAE course through a self-selected pathway leading to college readiness and a career readiness certificate endorsed by related industries.

Health and Physical Education 1 Unit Including: ½ Unit Health ½ Unit Personal Fitness

Electives 4 Units

TOTAL UNITS MINIMUM 23 Units

*Unit credit may be awarded for courses offered in the middle grades that meet 9-12 GPS requirements. *No course credit may be awarded for courses in which instruction is based on the GPS for grades K-8. *Completion of diploma requirements does not necessarily qualify student for the HOPE Scholarship Program.

fitness are important in developing a healthy and active

lifestyle. The course will emphasize strategies for

maintaining good cardiovascular endurance, flexibility,

muscular strength and endurance, and body composition.

It will follow a conceptual approach dealing with the

following topics: the nature of fitness, assessing

individual fitness, developing and maintaining a life-

long fitness program, and developing an appreciation for

efficient movement by viewing it as both an art and a

science. Fitness progress and assessments will be made

utilizing POLAR Heart Rate Monitor technology to

determine cardiovascular fitness levels and their relation

to the individuals target heart rate zone.
