Argyle School District - Course Requirements

Course Selection Process

Study the course descriptions and select those you wish to take according to the following priorities:
1. Courses needed for graduation
2. Courses needed for career preparation
3. Courses relating to your interests
Complete the Course Request Process
1. Students will complete a course selection worksheet with the support of teachers and parents. The worksheet requires a parent signature
2. Students will enter their requests into skyward arena scheduling

Schedule Changes

Students have 5 days once a semester has started to change a course. The student must also have the completed schedule change form signed by his/her parent/guardian and teachers. Requests will be considered after the first week of each semester only if the student requests in writing the rationale for being allowed to change his/her schedule. A consultation with the school counselor must also occur. Students allowed to drop a class after the 5 day period will have a W (withdrawn) entered on their transcript for that class.

Requirements for Graduation

Students must have 25 credits to graduate. Students must carry at least six credits per year, with the understanding that in at least one of their four years of high school they will be required to take 7 credits to acquire the necessary 25 credits for graduation. Students must be enrolled in at least one math, one English, and one science credit during each of their freshman, sophomore, and junior years. Students may have only two study halls per day unless the counselor, under special circumstances, grants permission.
