Timetables and Course Changes

Please note that all timetables are tentative before the start of each semester.

 

Course Changes:

Students in grades 9, 10 & 11 should have full timetables (4 courses each semester) unless they are a course ahead. If that is not the case please do one of the following:

1. Check the 2024-25 Master Timetable for a course that interests you in the period that you have a hole in your timetable. Then have a parent email Mrs. Weselan at [email protected] or Mrs. Keller at [email protected] with permission to pick up the course. (Note some classes will be full and you may be placed on a waitlist).
 

or 2. If you are a self-motivated and independent learner, check for an online class that interests you on the PRISM e-Learning Site. In the dropdown menus, select "All School Boards" and "Semester 1 - Regular" or "Semester 2 - Regular". Then have a parent email Mrs. Weselan at [email protected] or Mrs. Keller at [email protected] with permission to take the course. (Note some classes will be full and you may be placed on a waitlist).

or 3. If you wish to take a spare in grade 11, have a parent email Mrs. Weselan at [email protected] or Mrs. Keller at [email protected] with permission. (This is not advisable if you don't have 16 credits accumulated going into grade 11.)

Note These Course Codes:

  • COP2X and COP4X are 2 and 4-credit CO-OP.
  • NBE3E/NBE3C/NBE3U are grade 11 English codes for the "First Nations, Metis, and Inuit Voices" version of English. The AMDSB only offers this version in grade 11 like many boards. They are the prerequisite courses for ENG4E, ENG4C and ENG4U in grade 12.
 

Timetable Specifics for Senior Students:

  • Students going into grade 12 (and 12+) should plan to be "full-time students" (3 classes per semester) if possible. Being part-time may affect OSAP (post-secondary loans and grants).
  • Students must have at least 2 classes per semester to play school sports.
  • Students need 30 credits to graduate, including 17 to18 compulsory credits (depending on year of graduation). Students are responsible for checking their credit accumulation to monitor their requirements to graduate. Please do not hesitate to email Mrs. Weselan at [email protected] or Mrs. Keller at [email protected] for assistance if required.
  • Students applying to university require at least 6 grade 12 University "U" or Mixed "M" courses.
  • Students applying to college or university should be aware that many programs require specific prerequisite courses.
