AP
There has been a lot of questions and concerns regarding AP (advanced placement) classes. Today (2/11/15) I sent home AP information with all Northview students that qualify for AP Government and AP Human Geography. Please review the requirements below. Students who do not meet the requirements may not apply to take AP at this time. If a student meets the requirements at the end of the school year, they may submit an application but placement is up to Northview. Chattahoochee students apply to AP courses online (the link is below)
NO
WAIVERS permitted for 9th grade AP courses. Students must meet specified criteria.
AP Government Requirements for rising 9th graders: 88+ in 8th Grade History, 88+ in Language Arts.
v Students may need to remove General Health and/or American Government (should the student fail the course) from their schedule to make room for an AP course. Summer school and online options are available to rising 9th graders at the parent’s expense. Approximate cost for two classes taken during the summer is $500.
AP Gov’t is a yearlong course. AP Gov’t fulfills the American Gov’t graduation requirement.
Students must have the ability to learn independently, though they will have support in class.
Students should be strong with social studies skills including political cartoons and reading comprehension.
Students will be required to read material regularly on their own. When reading, students should read for detail; application and background of the concepts will be given in class.
The course is heavy on memorization of vocabulary and key concepts since tests/quizzes will be formatted to AP style multiple choice questions and free response questions. These questions will require students to use critical thinking skills to apply their knowledge of concepts/vocabulary to real world examples.
AP Human Geography requirements for rising 9th graders: 88+ in 8th Grade History, 88+ in Language Arts Advanced (same skill set as listed above). AP Human Geography is a yearlong course.

Progress Reports
The first progress report of the year will be going home Tuesday (September 16, 2014). If you aren't completely happy with your grades ask yourself, "Am I trying my hardest in all of my classes?" If the answer is no, what can you do to put forth a better effort? Now is the time to go to help sessions and ask for help. Because this is a result of the first four weeks of school, you have time to get your grades where you want them. Keep in mind that teachers make their recommendations for your 9th grade courses based on the grades you receive at the end of the semester. So make sure you turn in all your assignments and don't hesitate to ask for assistance if you need it. If you aren't sure when your teacher has help sessions, please click on the link below.
