Registration approaching for ninth-graders
Bennett will lead a team from the high school that will provide information and assistance to this year’s eighth-graders and their parents in pre-registering for the ninth grade. The sessions are scheduled as follows:
Tuesday, April 26
4 p.m. WCMS (Boone’s Bears)
6 p.m. WCMS (The Discoverers), Dibrell School
Thursday, April 28, 6 p.m.
Centertown Elementary
Eastside Elementary
Irving College Elementary
Morrison Elementary
Students, and their parents, with the assistance of the eighth grade counselors, as well as other members of each respective school staff, will use information provided by high school personnel to register for not only the ninth grade, but fill out a plan of study for the entire four years of education at Warren County High School.
The Education Reform Act of 1993 requires that parents be part of the team that completes the four-year focus of study before the student enters ninth grade. Additionally, students will be required to fill out a plan for the two years following high school. This combined with the four-year focus of study at WCHS completes the state-mandated Six-Year Plan. The Six-Year Plan becomes part of the transcript for graduating seniors.
An in-depth explanation of the new Gateway standards for graduation will be explained. The upcoming ninth-graders are required to pass Gateway Exams for algebra I, biology I, and English II in order to graduate with a regular diploma. In addition, all ninth-graders for 2005-2006 will be required to earn a credit in geometry to meet minimum graduation requirements.
