Teachers Make Course Recommendations in Infinite Campus

• During this time, teachers will recommend students for courses based on current course performance and curriculum placement guidelines.
• Students should leverage this time as an opportunity to schedule meetings with the content teacher to ask questions about course recommendations. Teachers use multiple data points beyond grades to determine a student’s placement (including but not limited to time-management skills, maturity, the ability to work with others, and student agency/the ability to advocate for oneself if struggling).

Elective Selection for Current Centennial Students 

• Elective forms will he handed out on January 27^th during KTT. On the Elective Form, students should rank their top 5 electives, with 1 being the most desired and 5 still being desired. Please note that due to unanticipated schedule issues, when the master schedule is released, students may not get their top elective choice. Students should be prepared to take any elective that is on their top 5 list.
• Forms need to be returned to the students’ KTT teacher by January 31^st.
• A few examples of unanticipated schedule issues: your preferred electives are offered in the same period, and you must choose one. An elective course is offered at a time of day that conflicts with other required or needed courses for graduation. The course does not fit in with your schedule based on your other course selections (AP, DE, FVS, GAVS, Senior Reduction).

Rising 9th Grade Information Night

• Rising 9^th Grade families are invited to meet Dr. Blackwell and hear about Centennial High School from our counselors and department chairs. There will be an opportunity to ask questions.

Student Course Verification Round 1

• Students will receive their Course Verification Form that indicates teacher course recommendations and electives- February 25 during Knight Training Time.
• Students will review the teachers’ recommendations and their elective classes. If a student would like to change the course recommended or an elective, they must fill out the required information. If the student is satisfied with what is listed, the form must still be returned to acknowledge their acceptance.
• Course Verification forms MUST be signed by a parent and returned by March 5^th.

CRITICAL INFORMATION ABOUT Course Verification Forms:

• If students want to drop down in rigor, they must indicate such on the form.
• If students are waiving to go into a more rigorous course than recommended, the student should first speak with their teacher. Course waiver forms will be available on March 22^nd so that students can see their 9-week progress report.
• If students want to take an online course for the 2025-2026 School Year, this is when they select the online course and complete the online course contract. When courses are released, you can view them below:

GAVS Course Catalog

• If students plan to participate in Dual Enrollment for the 2025-2026 School Year, there are several additional tasks and paperwork to be completed outside of writing it on this form. See the DE Information on the Centennial website. Writing that you want DE does not automatically register you.
• If you wish to take a course that requires an audition (ex., Performing arts) or application (ex., student aide), make sure you write in an additional backup option in the event you are not accepted into your desired course.
