The choices that you make are very significant, not only for next year, but also for the future. Whether you plan to go on to college, technical education, the Armed Services, or directly into the world of work, the courses you select will have a major impact upon your ability to meet the goals that you have set. Because these choices are so important, it is essential that you use all the resources available to you in making these decisions. First and foremost, it is crucial that you discuss the options with your parent or guardian. They have a formal role in the course selection process: no course selection will be considered final until it is reviewed and approved by your parent or guardian. Your teachers and school counselor will also be of significant help in selecting courses and instructional levels consistent with your plans, interests and abilities. Do not hesitate to discuss these matters with them at any time. During the actual course request process, they play a direct role in recommending and reviewing your selections. Meeting the challenges that face you and our nation in the twenty-first century will require knowledge, skill, flexibility, and a desire to pursue a high standard of performance. Your selection of courses and commitment to accepting the challenge of being well prepared for the future are cornerstones for your personal success. In summary, discuss your interests and goals with your parent or guardian. Seek help from your teachers and counselor in identifying the courses for next year that will be most helpful to you in attaining your goals and fulfilling your interests. Those students transitioning to middle or high school should use the 3ODQQLQJ)RUPV on the following pages to draw up a tentative four-year plan. Finally, choose the courses that you and your parents or guardians believe will be best for you. We will do everything we can to enable you to receive the program you select. Where that is not possible, we will assist you in selecting appropriate alternative courses. We urge you to take the process of course selection very seriously. It will have an impact upon the rest of your life. Sincerely,y, BBeverlyeverly S. Mountain, Guidance Instructional SpecialiSpecialistst Maria F.

The school shall protect the rights of students to attend school and participate in all activities of the school. It is the responsibility of the School Board of the City of Richmond and the administration to issue regulations establishing rules of conduct from student behavior in order to protect the health, safety and welfare of its students. It is imperative that each student exercise responsible conduct in accordance with the rules and regulations that have been established by Richmond Public Schools. General Conduct Students are expected to maintain positive conduct that is consistent with the following Guiding Principles, including, but not limited to: 1. Respect; 2. Responsibility; 3. Appreciation of differences; 4. Honesty; 5. Safety; and 6. Lifelong learning. To that end, each school is expected to develop and implement a school-wide Positive Behavior Support and Discipline Plan.

Within the plan, conduct issues are to be addressed by implementing proactive strategies to provide positive behavior support. These include defining and teaching behavioral expectations, acknowledging and reinforcing appropriate behavior, developing a continuum of responses for problem behavior and reviewing and analyzing discipline data to evaluate the effectiveness of the plan.
