NOT too big of a deal (to absorb 30 extra kids)

Sherwood. My sophomore enrolled for next year.

All schools will offer it next year. I assume the PP was asking about summer.

Then why is it not included in all school registration forms for next year?

A big cluster for 2025 kids who have already planned out their courses and now have to figure out how to incorporate a semester class into a course load of year long classes. Kids have jobs and other priorities mover the summer. They really need to make this optional for 2025 at this point. My daughter already taking a useless class to balance out health A and now has to find another useless class to balance out health B. Most kids would have done A and B as a full yet but too late to do that for many.

So my 10th grader is hoping to take Health b over the summer. She can’t easily find a spot for it in her current schedule. Why can’t mcps get their act together and tell the kids when and where they can take this class?

My 10th grader also. I am going to check with counselor to see what they know.

That was her fault for not waiting until 11th grade to take Health. You knew it was a full year requirement for class of 2025 in 8th grade, prior to registering for any HS classes.

Not for the class of 2025. This was added well after they they registered for freshman classes, and B wasn’t ready during their (current) sophomore year. They had no way to plan for this.

Which school is not offering Health B in 2023-24? It's a graduation requirement.

You are incorrect. In the middle of 8th grade, the graduation requirements for that particular graduating class are published and made available prior to 9th grade registration. They do not change after that, for that particular class.
https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/curriculum/graduation-requirements.aspx shows that the class of 2027 requirements are already up.

The full year health requirement begins with class of 2025 (first year 9th grade 2021-22). This means it was published in November of 2020.

You are correct that B was not ready for this year, but that was known two years ago. Your daughter could have waited one more year to take Health as a full year and taken a different full year elective this year.

Sorry, but that is not accurate in this case. The state board made the change to the Health requirement in May of 2021, effective with the class of 2025. These students would have already requested their 2021-22 9th grade classes four months prior to that.

Unfortunately, my class of 2025 kid is doing an IB diploma, and there isn’t a full-year slot free in that curriculum to take health in 11th or 12th grade. So they’re stuck without camp job opportunities for two summers in a row because they can’t commit to specific dates until it’s too late.

My student was told that couldn’t register for Health B until at least 11th grade. Will be emailing school about this.

Did you even look - they have stated the dates: https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/departments/extendedhours/summerschool/courses.aspx

They have an evening class.
