Wow, as we enter April we are looking at the last two full months of school left in 2011! What a whirlwind; Seniors were off to Europe, students have enjoyed activities like Musicale, Science Camp, SAT tests, Catalina, Math Olympics, Warrior Band at Knott’s Berry Farm, baseball, and softball are ongoing and the list goes on and on. So hold on to your hats and watch those calendars!
Hopefully your seniors are making final decisions for next year; these are exciting times! Juniors, you should be looking at taking the college entrance SAT’s at least once before this school year is over. You can register by going to collegeboard.com. Juniors start planning summer trips to visit colleges of interest to you as well.
Next year’s schedule will soon be out, and I will then be meeting with each of the students to discuss their future plans and making sure they are on track for graduation and college entrance too.
As just a reminder here are the graduation requirements for our high school:
GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
BIBLE Four (4) years or every semester in attendance at AVCS
ENGLISH Four (4) years
SOCIAL STUDIES Four (4) years
MATHEMATICS Three (3) years (Plus one additional year recommended)
SCIENCE Three (3) years (Plus one additional year recommended)
FOREIGN LANGUAGE Two (2) years
PHYSICAL EDUCATION Two (2) years - Each school team sport counts for ½ year
FINE ARTS One (1) year - Art, Choir, Drama
Students must have 270 credits to graduate.
Our standards for graduation are all based on the entrance expectations of the colleges, especially the University of California (UC) system.
As we fly through the end of this school year with much anticipation and excitement for the next please feel free to drop in if you have any questions or would like to be sure that your high school student is on track.
