Show DAVIS REFLtA JOURNAL mahIL 1 , 1 0ttb At LHS Sign Up By DONETA GATHERUM LAYTON - During the last two weeks of April for all students attending Layton High School in 1985-8- 6 will take place. -- PARENTS need to become involved with their high school students in this process. Dr. Ross Poore, vice principal at Layton High School notes there are two major changes that will effect high school students this coming year. Beginning with the Class of 1988 (those students in the 9th grade this year), all 9th grade credits will count towards high school graduation. The second change that will effect all high school students is the adoption of an day. Students will select 8 classes. will be called Block Classes A Classes 5 through 8 will be Block B. Students will attend 90 minute class periods every other day. This means in a two-wee- k period, a student will be in each class for five days. THE IMPORTANCE of attendance under the system is something every student and parent should understand. One class period missed will equal two days missed under the old system," Dr. Poore points out. Most high schools that use the system have dropped the number of days missed before attendance verification is needed from 9 days down to 4 days. Attendance is vital if a student is to succeed in the high school program. PRELIMINARY registration is the way the high school has of determining the classes students will want to take next year. From the registration information, a master schedule is built, staffing is done and final courses are offered. Dr. Poore notes the sophomore class at Layton High in 1985-8- 6 will consist of 613 students. This is 200 more than are in the graduating class of 1985. INCREASED enrollment means more planning will have to be done especially in the areas of elective classes and foreign languages. Final registration will take place in August. Layton High School uses the arena system. Students all meet in the gymnasium and select classes and teachers. Required classes are offered throughout the day so students can meet all the requirements for graduation. Electives are not offered as freuently. EACH YEAR there is a of between 150 and 300 students from the end of the school year in the spring until the beginning of school in the fall. This is teh main reason final registration is not completed until August. During the final registration, counselors are available for new students and students with scheduling problems. turn-ov- Cameron Estates Decision Delayed By Kays.
