If you have more questions or have information to add, please contact the North Fort Myers SAC Chair, Leslie [Varsogea.](Varsogea. nfmhssac@gmail.com)[ ](Varsogea. nfmhssac@gmail.com)[nfmhssac@gmail.com](Varsogea. nfmhssac@gmail.com)  \nCOURSE SELECTION  \nThe main goals of attending high school include graduating and getting prepared for the path tobe taken after high school graduation. Many students will go onto college as well as vocational schools, the military or go directly to work.  \nTALK TO YOUR COUNSELOR! They are there to help you!  \nGENERAL INFORMATION  \nRegistration for classes is conducted in the spring of the previous year. Academic class placements are based on student performance and teacher recommendation. School staffing and teacher assignments are set based upon student requests. Students are asked to indicate elective choices and 3 alternate classes. Students are allowed three weeks prior to the opening of school to review schedules and contact counselors for elective changes. Look for correspondence throughout the summer to minimize schedule changes after classes have begun.  \nNorth Scheduling Requirements  \n● NFMHS requires Freshman who are not enrolled in the AICE program to take one of the following classes  \n○ Freshman Leadership  \n○ JROTC 1  \n● All NFMHS students are required to take Intro to Info Tech. This satisfies the DOE online course requirement and can be used to meet the DOE’s  \n1.0 credit Practical Art/Fine Art requirement.  \n● HOPE (Health Opportunities Through Physical Education) or Hope Waiver  \nHOPE Course Waivers  \nHOPE-Health Opportunities through Physical Education  \nThere are several waiver opportunities for the HOPE requirement:  \n1. JROTC—Two years in a JROTC class satisfies the full one-credit physical education ( HOPE) requirement and the full one-credit performing arts requirement.  \n2. Junior Varsity/Varsity Athletes—Two full seasons of an interscholastic sport at the junior varsity or varsity level waives the full one-credit physical education ( HOPE) requirement.  \n3. Marching Band—One semester of marching band with a grade of “C” or better waives the .5 credit requirement of a physical education activity elective. The student must still take the .5 credit Personal Fitness class to complete the requirement.  \n4. Dance—One semester of a dance class waives the .5 credit requirement of a physical education activity elective. The student must still take the .5 credit Personal Fitness class to complete the requirement.  \n5. AICE—A student who completes 7 AICE classes and completes the corresponding AICE exams will receive a HOPE waiver. This is called “completing an AICE curriculum”. The seven AICE classes must include one math/science class, one humanities class, one Language class (usually AICE English Language) , Global Perspectives, and any other 3 AICE classes. The student must take the AICE class for the entire year, and complete the attached AICE exam (passing the exam is NOT required) .  \nGraduation Requirements  \nThe School District of Lee County’s Student Progression Plan delineates the rules, processes and procedures which affect student promotion, retention and graduation. It outlines what students must know and be able to do in order to meet the requirements for promotion and graduation from a Lee County school.  \nLee Schools Progression Plan  \nOnline Courses  \n● Good preparation for college courses which can have major online components or full offerings  \n● Taking online summer classes can allow students to get ahead in math or science, language arts and open up their schedule to classes they might not otherwise be able to take  \n● Take classes at your own pace  \n● Allow for a later start or earlier ending time  \nHighest Level Math Classes  \nGuidance counselors can help students identifi","cbCaiu19BWyfUZpu","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiu19BWyfUZpu","pdf",184064,13,"English","# Course Selection\n## General Information\n## North Scheduling Requirements\n## Registration and Schedule Changes\n# HOPE Waivers\n## HOPE-Health Opportunities through Physical Education\n## HOPE Course Waivers (JROTC, Athletes, Band, Dance, AICE)\n# Graduation Requirements\n## Student Progression Plan\n# Academic Planning\n## Online Courses\n## Highest Level Math Classes\n## Super Blocking\n# JROTC and Certifications\n## JROTC Overview and Webpage\n## Certification Classes and College Credit","[{\"question\":\"When are class registrations conducted and how are students placed?\",\"answer\":\"Class registration occurs in the spring of the previous year.
