This is the final review of your course requests. Some choices may have been dropped because demand exceeded the supply of classes or you lack the prerequisites. Please review all courses for accuracy and make adjustments as needed with your parent’s approval.
TO CHANGE COURSES ON THIS VERIFICATION FORM:
- Draw a single line through the course you do not want and print the course and level of your preference.
- Return the verification page in to your advisor’s office no later than Friday, May 30 ONLY if you make corrections.
IMPORTANT ITEMS TO REVIEW:
- COUNT YOUR CLASSES: You must have 16 semesters for a full schedule. Some courses may have been dropped due to inadequate space or your lack of prerequisites
- ATHLETICS AND ACTIVITY CLASSES: Teachers have submitted lists of athletes and students they want in their programs next year. If you were placed in a sport or class you do not want to take, draw a line through the class, and print the course and level you want to take instead.
If you want to be added to a sport or activity class you are not currently in, choose it on this form and contact the teacher for approval. You can only be added at this time if you add it on this form AND the teacher or coach selects you.
- AQUATIC SCIENCE –There are more requests than available seats in Aquatic Science and some were moved to Anatomy and Physiology. IB Chemistry and Physics are available to choose if you prefer.
- IB ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE has more requests than available seats. Some will be moved to another science, so now is the time to make a change to IB Chemistry or IB Physics or another class if you are interested.
- MAGNET STUDENTS AND TRANSFERS – Be sure you are in the class(es) and levels required for your transfer.
- BIM/BUSINESS INFO MGT: BIM requests exceeded available space. Some students were dropped and another elective was selected. If you want a different elective, choose it from the list below.
- EARN COLLEGE CREDIT: Juniors and seniors can earn high school and college credit with HCC at Lamar in Psychology, English, and/or Economics. Choose the course on the verification sheet and see Mrs. Ling in the College Corner about eligibility.
- ONLINE GOVERNMENT AND ECONOMICS NOW AVAILABLE: Online government and economics is open if you are currently in government or economics. If you prefer an online course you can complete quickly to a teacher led semester course, select APEX GOVERNMENT or APEX ECONOMICS. Due to excessive demand, some students were moved to the APEX government (Scheduling 24) or Economics (Scheduling 21) classes.

Next year, students in grades 10, 11 and 12 may choose to graduate under new requirements determined by House Bill 5 that would not require completion of Speech. Only students who are currently on certain pathways and complete designated courses would be eligible. These would include:

· Students completing 4 years of a Career and Technology pathway in:
Agriculture – Animal Science or Horticulture
Culinary Arts

grades 11 & 12)
· Career and Technology transfer students completing 4 years of a
Career and Technology pathway
· Students taking an AP, IB diploma level course or Dual Credit class each year for 4 years (Pre DP classes do not apply.)
· Students taking a class each year at Lamar in the same language for 4 years in French, Spanish, Italian or Chinese

· Students taking 4 years of ROTC
· Students taking 4 years in the same fine art each year in Band, Choir, Theatre, Dance or Art
· Students taking 4 years of Principles of AV, Newspaper, Yearbook or Broadcast Journalism
Students who are not in these course pathways will have to take Speech and Health online before they graduate. Health and Speech will be available online free to Lamar students during summer school.
An online course will also be free during the school year next year for Lamar students to complete at home, outside the school day. More information will follow in the fall when these courses will be available. Your advisor can approve you for online courses available for a fee through Texas Tech University at any time.
