[quote=Anonymous]How many electives they get to choose depends in part on whether they are assigned to gym and health (semester each) in 9th or just gym, as well as what art and music options they choose (e.g., general music, which is a semester, or choir/band, which is full year).

So if your kid chooses semester-long art and music options and is assigned to only a semester of gym (no health, meaning they take it in 10th), then they will have 1.5 elective credits to fill. That could be three .5 credit electives or one 1 credit elective and one .5 credit elective.

If they choose full-year music, half-year art, and get gym and health, then they will select only one .5 credit elective.

If they choose half-year music, half-year art, and get gym and health, then they will select two .5 credit electives or one 1 credit elective.

(And to be clear “select” is relative—kids are not guaranteed to get their preferred electives. My kids got some that they listed and some that they didn’t. Very common for 9th graders to get put in public speaking even if they didn’t select it.)[/quote]
