Students and parents must consider career choices, college requirements, graduation requirements, student interests and ability level when planning a schedule. Students, in consultation with their parents, school counselors and teachers, should plan a tentative four-year program. (A course distribution list and a course selection sheet appear on page ). This plan should meet individual needs. Choices about courses for the following years should focus on the student’s interests, abilities, and plans for the future. As you select your courses, pay special attention to course requirements, prerequisites and course sequence. Scheduling Process The school counselor will meet with all 9th, 10th, and 11th grade students to schedule for the following school year. During homeroom, the students will receive distribution of current transcripts, a review of graduation requirements, and specific grade level requirements will be discussed followed by entering course requests into the system.

INTRODUCTION In the United States approximately one million school-aged chil- dren are being educated at home.1 In Nebraska about 4,700 children are home schooled.2 Home-schooling is one of the major trends of the 1990s, the effects of which will be felt into the twenty-first century.3 Families are turning to home education primarily for religious rea- sons. However, others teach their children at home because they are concerned about the quality of instruction, curriculum, and textbooks in the public schools or about the influences of peer interaction at pub- lic schools.
