[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand the 9th class choices - hoping it is explained tonight or tomorrow. Do kids use an elective for history? Computer science? PE? Econ? Is this why need to take classes over summer? Are there just 2 electives in 9th? [/quote]

Freshman course selection:

ENGLISH 9 (IBET Integrated Block)
BIOLOGY (IBET Integrated Block)
DESIGN & TECHNOLOGY (IBET Integrated Block)
HEALTH AND PE 9  (**)
World Language:
Math:
Elective:  (*)

(*) By default, students have only one elective slot in 9th grade, and the majority choose Foundations of Computer Science for that spot.

(**) However, a good number of students complete PE over the summer before entering TJ, which opens up space for a second elective during freshman year.

There’s no rush to fit Personal Finance Economics into 9th grade, as it can be taken pass/fail at any time during the year (in addition to the 7 courses), as long as it’s completed by the end of junior year.  It can be taken during summer for credit as well.  Many students also choose to take AP Macro/Micro economics after freshman year, which also fulfills the mandatory economics requirement.[/quote]
