SLC "A" students have access to all AP courses, Honors classes, clubs and activities that are offered within the school. They have priority enrollment in SLC "A" electives, but may also crossover to take electives offered in other SLC’s (electives are listed above). Student schedules in SLC "A" will be as varied as they currently are in the comprehensive high school. SAMPLE SCHEDULE: Elective boxes may be filled with elective courses list above (exact 2007 offerings T.B.D.), including AP & Honors.
These SLC formats are in the developmental stages. After staff are assigned to SLCs in May/June 2006, they will work to put their unique stamp on the emphases and profile. Beginning early next fall, prospective students and parents will have a number of opportunities to meet with SLC team members, hear their presentations, and offer advice or make suggestions on ways to further strengthen the programs. Events like these will prepare students for registration activities that will be held later next year.
