This Week @ SR - February 10, 2025

This month, students will receive information about our electives, CTE pathways, AP. and Honors courses. From February 3 through February 14, counselors will visit English classes to help students make their initial course requests in Aeries via their Academic Plans. 

Later in February, we will send home a course verification letter, which allows families and students one last chance to make changes to course requests. At this time, students and their families will be asked to commit to these course requests. These requests will be granted to the best of our ability in managing our overall master schedule. Class or course conflicts may result in the inability of your student to be enrolled in all requested courses. If there is a course conflict, counselors will contact their students to discuss their options. 

Students who are interested in taking AP courses will need to complete an AP Contract that acknowledges that they are expected to stay in this class the entire school year. The due date for the completed AP contracts to be returned to the counseling office is March 19th; any students who do not complete this contract will have any AP course taken off their course requests.

Students and parents should keep in mind the hours of preparation and follow through that are required for success in an advanced level course. We recommend students limit their advanced coursework to no more than three Honors or AP classes in a year. To be eligible for placement in an AP class, the student should meet specific criteria as is stated in the curriculum guide, which can be found on our school website. Some AP classes may have a summer assignment that will need to be completed prior to the beginning of the next school year. 

Please be sure to take some time to discuss your student’s course requests with them, taking into consideration their responsibilities outside of school. If you have any questions or need further information about the course request process, please contact our Counseling Office at 415-485-2336.
