Pre-registration opens for ninth-graders Thursday
The first of the pre-registration meetings for the rising ninth-grade class is scheduled to begin tomorrow night at Eastside Elementary School.
The meetings, to be held across the county over the next two weeks, will be led by Warren County High School personnel. They are held in compliance with state education requirements and will require the presence of all current eighth-grade students and their parents.
Taking students and parents through the registration process will be high school curriculum principal Dr. Haskell Greer and next year’s freshman grade level principal Andy Jacobs. In helping students register, the two will explain such items as the different types of diplomas available, graduation requirements, high school curriculum and social environment, advanced placement classes and articulation agreements.
Also to be explained in depth are the state’s new Gateway exams for algebra I, biology and English II. All students entering the ninth grade from 2003 on are required to pass these exams in order to receive regular high school diplomas.
During the course of the meetings, each student and his or her parents will put together the student’s six-year plan, which will be the framework for the four years of high school course work plus two years of post-secondary education or work.
School officials note it is imperative parents attend these informational sessions as state law requires parents to provide input into their child’s six-year plan and to sign off on them.
