If you will not be returning to ZHS, mark NOT RETURNING and give the form to  Mr. Griffin.

 

TEACHER PERMISSION: Some courses require teacher permission or an audition.  Do not select these courses unless the teacher has approved your joining the class.

 

RETAKING A COURSE: Do not pre-register for a course that you have already earned credit from unless it states in the course description that it may be repeated for credit.

Only pre-register for a failed course AFTER receiving permission from the teacher to retake this course. Here is the required form to retake a failed class.   You may need to have Mr. Griffin hand enter the re-take request.

 

MATH: ZHS staff recommend Math for every student every year.  Math has been pre-selected for all students.  If you have a question about your math placement see your math teacher.  Students who have met all requirements and choose not to follow our 4 year recommendation must complete a “Math-Opt Out” Form before those courses can be dropped from pre-registration totals.

 

ADD/DROP 2012: Only those students who pre-register for courses and alternates will be allowed to add/drop next year.

 

DUE APRIL 18. Complete pre-registration before April 18 otherwise your course placement will be made by computer.

Freshman Pre-Registration Information for the 2011-12 School Year.

Class of 2015

(Current 8th grade @ ZMS)

ZHS guarantees placement in appropriate core classes.  We make every attempt to honor elective requests but there are no guarantees for elective placement nor is there add/drop for Freshman.  Please select electives carefully.  Freshman request only electives.  Appropriate core classes have already been selected. A computer program places students in schedules, first core and then electives classes.  If an open period occurs and no elective request fits, the program places the Freshman in the next available open elective.  If you do not pre-register, then seats in elective classes are not saved for you at ZHS.

If you will NOT be attending ZHS next year, please indicate that on the worksheet and return it to the ZMS office before you leave school today.  The office will call and confirm this with a parent.

Review the following information before selecting electives:
