GENERAL INFORMATION 3

Education is an important part of preparing yourself for life. Since little can be accomplished without planning and structure, it is important that you plan your high school course of study so that these four years will contribute to your future in a positive way.

REGISTRATION – Prior to registration, we will provide you with registration materials and information. Questions regarding schedules can be answered for incoming freshmen at our Open House on January 12, 2015 and for upperclassmen by the counseling staff at 480.706.7944. It is important that the registration forms be filled out completely and returned as soon as possible.

CREDITS – One half unit of credit is earned for each successfully completed course at the end of a semester.

MINIMUM COURSE LOADS – Freshmen, Sophomores and Juniors must enroll in a minimum of six credit-bearing classes. Seniors are encouraged to enroll in five or six classes; however, they must enroll in a minimum of four classes. Only Seniors will be allowed a release period. There must be extenuating circumstances in order for Juniors to request a release period. There are minimum course loads that must be maintained for students participating in AIA events. Consult the Assistant Principal/Athletics at 480.706.7912 for details. Students may enroll for a maximum of six classes during the regular school day. If students choose to enroll in more than six courses, there is an additional fee of $350.00 per year.

AIMS/ AzMERIT – Beginning with the graduating class of 2013, twenty-three credits must be successfully completed in the areas listed below to graduate from Tempe Union High School District schools. Since April of 1999, students have been administered a series of tests to measure their knowledge of state mathematics, reading and writing standards. All students will have five opportunities to take the proficiency level tests beginning in the spring of their sophomore year. Beginning with the graduating class of 2006, and ending with the class of 2016, all students within those graduation years will be required to meet the Arizona state standards in reading, writing and math subject area AIMS tests. AIMS results will be attached to the student’s transcripts. The content of AIMS is extremely rigorous; therefore, in preparation for AIMS, students are urged to work with their counselors in selecting classes which contain content most closely aligned with the state’s mathematics and language arts standards.

The Arizona State Board of Education adopted a new statewide achievement test, AzMERIT, starting in the Spring of 2015. Students in Grade 3 through high school will take AzMERIT in English Language Arts and Mathematics.
