Providing Options and Opportunities
I’m in the band so could not take AP Calculus which is only offered during my jazz band period.
I’m taking Chinese from Ga. Virtual. Of course, my school doesn’t offer this.
I just moved from a school with a block schedule. How could I take Spanish 1B in my new traditionally scheduled school having never taken 1A?
I’m on the National Junior Waterskiing Team and am taking all of my classes from Ga. Virtual this semester so I can travel with the team.
