2Scheduling Process
1. Students will be mailed home scheduling information and directions the week of January 4.
2. Students will watch a scheduling video in first block on January 11, 2021
3. Students will enter their 8 classes for next year directly into StudentVue between January 15 – 22, 2021.
4. After January 22, the counselors will review these requests and the final 8 classes will be available on
February 24 through ParentVue and StudentVue. March 4, 2021, is the deadline for changes.
5. Due to staffing restraints, schedule changes made after March 4 may not be honored. IRHS is assigned
teachers for the following school year based on the number of students who sign up for each class.
Students and parents are encouraged to make wise choices when they pick classes, including electives
and honors/advanced level classes.
Scheduling Guidelines
Please read the following bullets before making course choices:
1. All students must take eight classes. Seniors are the only exception. Seniors may take a 3 X 3 in their
senior year with permission from the principal. Even though we make this exception, we strongly
encourage all IRHS students to take eight classes each year and to stay in school all four years. This is
the last opportunity for students to get a free education, and we want our students to be fully prepared
for college, trade schools, the military, or the work force. Seniors leaving after third block must
provide their own transportation and leave the building promptly at the end of class.
2. Straight Algebra I (21011) and Geometry (22011) are classes designed for students who typically earn
A’s and B’s in their math classes. Most IRHS students take Algebra 1 and Geometry in parts (Part A
and Part B). By spending two semesters in the Part A and B math classes students will: (1) earn two
credits (one math credit and one elective credit); (2) have more time to master the material; (3) have
more time with the teacher to review difficult topics; and (4) generally do better in advanced math
classes.
3. Special Education students will be scheduled according to their Individual Education Plan (IEP).
Students will be scheduled by their special education teachers and/or their school counselors. Their
proposed schedules must match their IEP’s. Students or parents who want to change the number of
special education classes a student receives must first change the IEP with the special education
case manager and IEP team. Students may take support classes 1 or 2 terms.
4. Students shall not be granted credit for a course if absences total more than nine (9) class periods for a
one term course or more than eighteen (18) class periods for a two term course (example: AP English)
unless extenuating circumstances are established. Students must file a request for extenuating
circumstances from the committee (typically during the last couple of weeks of the semester). Parents
and students are reminded to document all absences for doctor and legal issues in case the student needs
to request extenuating circumstances.
5. Indian River High School encourages all students to be successful in their first attempt in a course. If a
student fails a class in the fall semester, the student will not be able to repeat the same class in the spring
semester without permission of the principal. The only exception to this rule applies to graduating
seniors and for certain math classes. Graduating seniors may repeat classes within the same year to keep
them on track towards graduation. All other students who fail a class will need to repeat the class at a
later time.
6. All tenth graders who will be 16 years old by February 1, 2022, will be scheduled to take PE/Health 10
in the first semester.

Additional Diploma Options
• Graduation Requirements for the Standard Diploma with Credit Accommodations
Students with disabilities who started high school in September 2013 and after are eligible to receive certain
accommodations for the Standard Diploma. Credit accommodations provide alternatives for students with disabilities in
earning the standard and verified credits required to graduate with a Standard Diploma.
• Applied Studies Diploma (Special Education Diploma)
This diploma is available to students with disabilities who complete the requirements of their Individualized Education
Program (IEP) and who do not meet the requirements of for other diplomas.
5Promotion Requirements
Promotion in the senior high school shall be based upon the number of credits earned. Designation of students by class
(i.e., sophomore, junior, senior) shall be based upon the criteria that follow:
• 9th grade (freshman) A student with 4 or fewer credits (and in the first year of high school).
• 10th grade (sophomore) A student with at least 5 credits, but fewer than 10 credits (and in the second year of
high school).
• 11th grade (junior) A student with at least 10 credits, but fewer than 16 credits (and in the third year of high

Purpose/Description of Block Scheduling
Generally, a 4 X 4 block schedule refers to use of four classes (plus lunch) in the school day, with each class ninety
minutes in length. Students may complete four classes each term (fall and spring) for a total of eight classes for the
school year. The fall term runs from September through January. The spring term runs from February through mid-
June. At the end of the first term (January), the student will take exams, turn in books, and will have completed those
classes.
The purpose of block scheduling is to enable the student to meet the Virginia diploma requirements, while affording the
student the opportunity to study additional courses that ordinarily do not fit in a traditional schedule. Block scheduling
allows students to leave high school better prepared to find acceptable employment, receive valuable training in
technical careers, or prepare for further education at the college level.
Honors and AP Course Requirements
The following information should be utilized to select the course that is appropriate for the ability level and interest of
the student. It is particularly important for students to select the appropriate course before the school year begins as
there will be very little opportunity for a level change once the academic year is in session. In addition, level changes are
not ideal for the student – it is far better to make the best choice the first choice.
Criteria for Accelerated and Honors Courses as Listed in the CPS Secondary Catalog:
When deciding whether or not a certain course or sequence is appropriate, students should be aware that these courses
have been designed for students who meet all the following criteria:
• have consistently received grades of “B” or better in that subject area in the past;
• have the recommendation of their present teacher(s) in the appropriate subject; and
• have the approval of their parents.
Questions for Consideration before Selecting an Advanced Placement Course:
• Does the student read voluntarily and for pleasure?
• Does the student have enough time to complete assignments and prepare adequately for rigorous exams in light of other
community and school commitments?
• Is the student willing to make studying for an AP course a priority?
• Is the student considering his/her academic strengths and goals rather than choosing a certain course simply to be with
friends?
• Will the student handle the necessary constructive criticism well?
• Is the student able to deal with the complexities of difficult assessment items which require strong analytical skills?
• Is the student able to accept grades that are lower than those to which he/she is accustomed without undue anxiety?

Dual Enrollment
For any IRHS student who signs up for a Dual Enrollment class for the 2021-2022 school year, the school counselor will e-
mail the step by step process of what needs to be done. This process will not start until after March 4, 2021. Upon
completion of all requirements, students will earn high school credit and college credit for certain courses. The
procedures for enrolling in a Dual Enrollment course are as follows (note that this process is subject to change):
7Step 1. Apply for Admission to TCC
Complete the free TCC application for admission online, https://www.tcc.edu/apply. If any issues arise, contact the TCC

8When Applying to TCC online – Common Errors and How to Fix
Your Education Section
• Which of the below describes your current high school education?
o Students should select the first option: I am currently attending a public/private high school in a U.S.
state, territory or military installation.
o They will then need to FIND their high school from the automated list and select it. Make sure they type
in their correct year of graduation from high school.
• Program of Study: I plan to earn a degree, certificate, or diploma: CHECK NO
• Term I plan to start classes: Fall 2020 (for most DE students, unless they are starting the General Education or
Social Science Pathway this Summer 2020)
• As of the first day of the term, which of the following best describes your situation:
o Students should select the first option: I am taking classes through my high school to receive high school
credit AND college credit.
• Pick a Primary Campus location: Chesapeake Campus
Your Background Section
• What is your current citizenship status:
o Native born U.S. citizen (born in the US) OR
o Permanent Resident (not born in the US)
Residency Section - This section trips students up the most for some reason
If a student lives with their Mother or Father, then they need to check the following box:
o I want to claim eligibility based on my parent
Once they have claimed eligibility based on parent or legal guardian (in some cases), then they will need to know if that
person is a Native U.S. Citizen, Naturalized Citizen, Permanent Resident, etc. In most cases, the parent was born in the
U.S., but we do have some students whose parents were born outside the U.S. and moved here
If a student lives with a court appointed legal guardian, then they need to check the following box:
o I want to claim eligibility based on my court appointed Legal Guardian
THEY SHOULD NOT check that they are under 24 and want to claim eligibility based on myself (unless they are truly
emancipated).
Chesapeake Career Center (CCC)
The Chesapeake Career Center (CCC) prepares students for successful entry into the workforce or post-secondary
institutions by providing career, technical and academic skills and offering valuable industry credentials. CCC courses are
yearlong, two block programs; students will earn three credits for completion of each program. Courses at CCC are
competency based which includes theory, industry hands-on job skills and workplace readiness training. Good
attendance is critical. Upon successful completion of courses at CCC, students are prepared to test for related industry
credentials, certifications or state licensure. Students enrolled in programs at CCC are provided transportation to and
from their high schools. Admission to CCC is through application. For more information, please see your counselor or
visit the CCC website https://cpschools.com/ccc/ or contact CCC at (757) 547-0134.
9Virtual Virginia (VVA)
Virtual Virginia is a program of the Virginia Department of Education serving students in Virginia high schools b providing
flexible options for the diverse educational needs of students. For more information, including an application, students
should speak to their guidance counselors. A list of courses can be found at http://www.virtualvirginia.org/courses/
Credit Recovery
Credit Recovery courses are available as an option for students who are do not earn a passing grade on their first
attempt in a course. Students receive the instruction via an online provider. Students should see their counselor for
more information.
Additional Information
Academic and Career Plans
School counselors will continue to work with students on their Academic and Career Plans (ACP) that were started in
middle school. Counselors will meet with students throughout their high school career to revisit students’ post high
school education goals and their career plans. Counselors will also work with students in projecting what classes they
will take not only the following year but through their senior year. This will enable students to better understand their
status in keeping on track to graduate and taking classes that match up with their expressed career interests. A copy of
the current ACP will be sent home by the end of each year in high school in 10th grade.
College Planning
Throughout a student’s tenure at CPS, he/she will meet with the school counselor several times to choose classes for the
following year and to discuss post-graduation plans. The school counselors also meet with seniors at the beginning of
the senior year to discuss the college application process, but we know that many parents of underclassmen have
questions and concerns about their children and college. The CPS Guidance Department encourages parents to make
individual appointments with the school counselors to discuss specific concerns. Prior to these meetings, however, it is
important for the parents and students to create a list of questions and/or to research admissions requirements for the
schools in which they are interested. The Internet is an excellent way to accomplish this task. Parents and students can
also benefit by visiting colleges and universities. It is best to call the admissions office ahead of time to ensure a tour of
the school.
Virginia High School League (VHSL), 2.0 Eligibility Rules for Athletes, and NCAA
According to the Virginia High School League (VHSL), a student must have passed 3 classes for credit the previous
semester AND be taking 3 credit bearing classes the current semester to be eligible for sports.
In addition to the VHSL rules, Chesapeake has a 2.0 eligibility rule. In order to be eligible for sports, a student must have
a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or a GPA of 2.0 for the previous semester (this includes new students). Only final grades are
used to determine GPA’s (not report card quarter grades). In the fall semester, a ninth grader must have a 2.0 for the
final grades of 8th grade or the second semester of 8th grade. For this reason, 8th grade second semester grades are
very important to rising ninth graders.
If a student has established eligibility in Chesapeake by having the 2.0, and his/her grades fall below a 2.0, he/she can
use a onetime only probation semester as long as the student has passed three classes the previous semester (as
deemed by the VHSL regarding schools on 4 X 4 block scheduling). The probation semester is used the semester directly
10after the student has fallen below a 2.0 whether or not the student is an athlete that semester. During the probation
semester, the student must attend a mandatory study hall for 90 minutes each week if he/she is an athlete that
semester. The probation semester cannot be used by 9th graders in their first semester of high school or by transfer
students who are not enrolling into WBHS with a 2.0
Students should see their guidance counselor for specific information in regards to NCAA core classes, core GPA, filing
the application on line. Student athletes can go to www.ncaaclearinghouse.com for more information.
College and Career Pathways
Students may earn a Social Science Associate’s transfer degree, a certificate of General Studies or a Mechatronics
Certificate through TCC while earning a high school diploma. The Social Science Associate’s transfer degree and the
certificate of General Studies requires course work using Dual Enrollment courses and earn a C or better as well as
Advanced Placement classes and take the AP exam and earn a score of 3 or better. These students will also need to
complete high school credit in mathematics while in middle school. The Mechatronics Certificate does not require
Advanced Placement classes or high school credit in math while in middle school; students will be on a special career
pathway that includes taking selected classes in their high schools, working toward a high school diploma and a
recognized industry credential in electronics. Current high school students should see their counselors if they are
interested in pursuing a pathway.
General Studies Certificate In order to earn the General Studies Certificate, the student will need to successfully
complete Advanced Placement coursework and testing with a score of 3 or better in the following areas: European
History, Art History, and Biology. United States History may be taken as an Advanced Placement course and test or Dual
Enrollment at the high school. In addition, Dual Enrollment English will be taken at the high school. Students will also
need to complete SDV 100 and Math 152 or 163 at Tidewater Community College to fulfill the remaining requirements
for the General Studies Certificate. There are fees associated with TCC courses. Students need to work closely with the
school counselor to ensure that coursework, timelines, and necessary grade requirements are met.
Social Sciences Transfer Degree Students desiring to graduate with the Social Sciences Transfer Degree should have
earned high school credits in middle school in Algebra 1, Geometry, and World Language. Advanced Placement
coursework and testing with score of 3 or better in the following areas is also required: Art History, Biology, Human
Geography, Psychology, Statistics, and US Government and Politics. United States History may be taken as an Advanced
Placement course or Dual Enrollment at the high school. Dual Enrollment English will be taken at the high school. In
addition, the following classes will need to be completed at Tidewater Community College: SDV 100, Math 152 or 163,
PE elective, CST, Sociology, Economics, and an approved TCC elective. There are fees associated with TCC courses.
Summer school attendance may be required. Students need to work closely with the school counselor to ensure that
coursework, timelines, and necessary grade requirements are met.
Mechatronics Certificate
Students who wish to earn the Mechatronics Certificate will need to include appropriate electives in their course of
study. During the 11th and 12th grade, students will take a limited number of required classes at their high school and
spend the remainder of their day at Tidewater Community College. Students need to work closely with the school
counselor to ensure that coursework, timelines, and necessary grade requirements are met. Students will spend their
entire 2nd semester at TCC. There are fees associated with TCC courses.
