both semesters If course has two course numbers and meets for
only one semester please choose semester in which you want course…(example-Foods 1)
Please pay attention to courses that meet 1 semester vs. 2 semester
Most, but not all, electives meet for one semester (exception being Accounting, Adv. Woods, music courses, world language, and Intro to Art)
Options for Next Year…
Person Finance…Can take as a sophomore but more effective if you are a junior and only if space allows
Accelerated Algebra…May want to consider doubling up with your Math courses (Acct. Geom. and Algebra II) (Talk to Math Department)
Physical Science…May want to consider Biology and Chemistry (Talk to Mr. Linse)
Biology…May want to consider Chemistry and Human Anatomy together (Talk to Mr. Anderson)
Drivers Ed. in the summer... great idea!!!
