FORECASTING CLASSES FOR NEXT YEARStudents request courses for the entire school year. Students and parents are urged to consider future goals,previous grades, attendance habits and study habits when selecting classes.First choices are not always possible. Sometimes, we are not able to offer classes for a variety of reasons.Often changes cannot be made once classes are full. Students need to be sure when making selections that theclasses they are selecting are classes they are committed to taking. Placement in certain required courses willbe determined by instructor recommendation, test scores, writing samples and/or published criteria. Studentsare encouraged to discuss course selections with parents/guardians, instructors and guidance counselors; thenwrite them in the appropriate spaces on the forecasting sheet.ELIGIBILITY FOR ACTIVITIES, ATHLETICS & AWARDSSouth Medford High School students are expected to be enrolled in seven classes.
