Looking Ahead
Schedules 2019-20
Please remember that as written in the first schedule email, those class assignments are extremely tentative. The next step is bringing classes to contract maximums (maximum class sizes) and handling scheduling conflicts for singleton classes. We will be sorting through schedule change requests as well, the form for which you can find here.
The following courses are not being offered in the 2019-20 school year as of today- some may come back with additional funding, and we will message that out as well.
- Gender Studies
- AP Comp Sci A
- Computer Tech (Help Desk)
- PLTW/ ROP Engineering
- Sports Leadership
- Creative Writing/Public Speaking
- ROP Vet Science
- Intro to Programming
- Computer Science Discoveries
- Transition to College Math and Statistics
- ROP Journalism
The following new courses are being offered next year:
- AP Calculus BC
- Advanced Sports Medicine* (articulated with DVC)
- Chem of Earth (this course replaces traditional Chemistry I)
- Living Earth (this course replaces traditional Biology)
Thanks to our PFC and some angel donations, as well as our admin team, we are going to be able to offer some previously cut courses, including:
- German Honors and AP German
- Work Experience
PFC Funding could not have been possible without parent participation and fundraising efforts. Huge kudos and thank you to our PFC leadership, and please continue to get involved! Parents have asked many times how they can help when their favorite classes have been at risk, or teacher layoffs were upon us. You can find the Ed Fund donation form below. Join the PFC today!

End of Year Locker Procedures
10th grade students are turning their locks in, and will be reassigned a new locker at walk through (on the top row!) This will be their locker for the next two years.
All lockers will be cleaned out by maintenance during the summer, so nothing should remain in the locker.
