Spring Schedules:
Students who will be taking a college math and/or writing class for the first time will be placed in an advisory class. Students who earn less than a B in a college class will also have an advisory class if they are taking another college class in that subject area. If a student has not placed into college level math or writing, they will continue to be enrolled in a high school math or English next semester. Students may also be enrolled in Apex (online) classes for PE or other needs. Online classes will still be scheduled in person twice a week with a high school teacher. Students should check their schedule in Q to verify dates and times of high school classes/advisories. If there are questions, please let me know.
Single Course Enrollment:
Students wanting to take a class at their affiliate high school second semester will need to complete the Part Time Enrollment form. Please review the AMCS Single Course Enrollment Guidelines as well. All students taking a class at an affiliate high school next semester need to complete this form, even if they are taking a class there this semester. Once the form is completed and has Ms. Rawlings's signature, it can be submitted to the affiliate high school for approval and scheduling. Click here for the Part Time Enrollment form and Guidelines.
