It's time to select your classes for the 2023-24 school year! Please review this newsletter in its entirety and complete each step.


ONLINE COURSE SELECTION

This will be through Student Connect and open from January 24th-February 6th. This is where you will be able to input your classes for next school year.


ELA CLASSROOM VISIT

We will visit your eSTEM 9th grade ELA class on the dates listed below to review your course selections together and make necessary adjustments.


If you do not have a STEM ELA, we will call you into our office at a later date.

STEP 1: Review High School Transcript

WHAT IS A TRANSCRIPT?

  • A transcript is a record of every class you've completed at ERHS, through Norco College's Dual Enrollment, and other institutions for which you've submitted an official transcript for.
  • You can find your transcript in Student Connect under Student Documents.
GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS:
  • GPA information can be found in the yellow box.
  • All ERHS classes are worth 5 credits.
  • You should have 30 credits each fall/spring semester and up to 10 credits each summer.
  • At this time, you should have at least 30 credits to be on track.
  • You need 220+ credits to graduate.
  • Along with credits students must fulfill subject requirements (in red below) in order to graduate.
  • The only way to miss credits is to earn an F in a class (D is considered passing but will not meet a-g minimum requirement).

STEP 2: Review eSTEM Academics
  • STEM students are ERHS students and must fulfill the same requirements for a high school diploma.
  • STEM students have summer classes planned already (Health/PE/Art).
  • STEM students follow the STEM 4 Year Plan which includes high school graduation requirements, a-g requirements, and STEM requirements.
  • ALL students are guaranteed a total of 6 classes.


Be sure to review the STEM, ERHS and A-G requirements.

    *The STEM 4 year Plan includes: ERHS Grad requirements, A-G and STEM requirements.**

Only students who have earned an A (A+, A, A-) in the first semester of Integrated Math 2 Enhanced, can select Ap PreCalculus/PreCalculus Honors next year. However, if you do not want to take PreCalculus Honors but want to take Integrated Math 3 Enhanced instead, let your Counselor know.


IMPORTANT!

**PE placement is based on 9th grade PE Fitness exam results. Students who do not pass the PE fitness exam in spring 2023 will need to take PE in 10th grade. Students have a few options, including taking PE as a zero period class. Your counselor will work with you on this. More information/details to come.**

  • ALL of the selections you make are REQUESTS. You will meet one on one with your Counselor to discuss your requests and finalize them for next school year.
  • The eSTEM electives you select are requests. We cannot guarantee that the courses you select will be in your final schedule.
  • You will add a total of 6 classes and 12 requests. Be sure to enter the semester 1 AND semester 2 course for each class (for example: Robotics 1A and Robotics 1B).
  • Your counselor will review your transcript, graduation, a-g, and STEM requirement status to determine what courses you MUST take. This is what we will discuss together in your ELA class.
  • PE placement is based on Fitness Exam results.
