Please Note: Due to budget restraints and class size requirements, all classes listed in the MHS curriculum catalog are not guaranteed to be offered. Thoroughly review course requirements and make course selections wisely. We will not have the flexibility to move students after June 30th. Student course selections are final at this time. Each year, the Milton High School curriculum is evaluated and modified based on input provided by the faculty, students, and parents. New courses are introduced and other courses are deleted in order to provide the best educational environment possible. Developing a schedule involves a series of steps designed to enable students and parents to make careful and considered selections of the most appropriate courses. Course selection should be based upon a student's academic ability and performance coupled with required prerequisites and teacher recommendations. The process will include the following steps: Teachers will review the curriculum handbook with students presently in high school. Distribution of MHS online registration guide will be conducted by guidance. Class meetings: Counselors will hold meetings at the high school and the middle schools to explain registration procedures, to distribute materials, and explain online registration process.  Six course selections and three alternates should be reflected on the final registration form.   

*

MHS Online registration guide is available on the home page of the MHS website. https://sites.santarosa.k12.fl.us/mhs/

Once courses have been entered into the online registration tool, students will remain in the chosen classes. Every effort will be made to accommodate the selections indicated; however, the following factors may affect the student's final schedule: 1. An elective course offering not requested by a sufficient number of students will be cancelled. 2. A course request that conflicts (for example, same period) with another course request may affect the final schedule. 3. The prerequisite for the course has not been met. 4. Once the school year has begun, schedule adjustments can be initiated by the teacher if the student  is academically misplaced.  is duplicating a class.  lacks a credit required for graduation.  does not meet the prerequisite for the class.  previously failed under assigned teacher. Due to the class size amendment and current budgetary cuts to teaching units, there will be no drop-add period for 2017-2018. Some students may not be able to take some of the classes chosen due to class size. GPA’s and last year’s level of success will be the determining factors. Once the registration process is completed, students will be expected to stay in their selected classes for the entire school year.

Forgiveness Credit A student enrolled in the basic program in grades 9-12 or enrolled in a vocational program for which credit towards high school graduation is awarded may repeat a course to improve the grade point average subject to State Board rules and the following restrictions:

1. The student may receive graduation credit, required or elective, for a course only one time. The original course and grade will appear on the student’s record, but will not be counted towards graduation requirements, or be used in calculating the district or state grade point average. 2. Only a grade of D or F can be replaced with a “C” or higher. 3. Eighth grade students making a C/D/or F in Algebra I may take it over for forgiveness in the 9th grade. 4. In order for a course to be “forgiven”, it is the student’s responsibility to notify their counselor.

Make-up Credit A student who receives a failing grade in a course may repeat the course through Compass Learning during the regular school term, provided space is available or online at home. (Summer school may be used if it is available.)
