Terra Nova High School 2021-22 Incoming 9th Grade Course Selection Form
Welcome to the Terra Nova Family!
This is your student's 9th grade course selection form. Please work with your student to complete and submit this form. Below is some helpful information to assist with the scheduling process:
SIX REQUIRED COURSES
• All freshmen are required to take six classes: English, Math, Biology, Physical Education, Health, and one elective.
ENGLISH 9 ENRICHED
• A placement test is required for students interested in enrolling in English 9 Enriched. Information regarding dates and times for this test will be provided in the future when we have additional details.
MATH PLACEMENT FOR STUDENTS CURRENTLY ENROLLED IN PARTNER SCHOOLS (BAYSHORE, BRISBANE, JEFFERSON ELEMENTARY, & PACIFICA)
• An articulation agreement specifies that math placement is determined by the 8th grade school using multiple measures such as test scores, teacher recommendations, and grades.
ELECTIVE CHOICE
• Every effort is made to give students their first elective choice.
• If a lower ranked elective choice is scheduled, it will be honored, and no changes will be made.
• If one of the selections is not available, a similar course may be substituted.
It is recommended that students and parent refer to our course catalog for a description of our available classes. The catalog is accessible on our website. Schedule changes are only permitted for class misplacement.
