Fall 2025 Grades 10-12 Planning
![card header icon]()
Grades 10-12 Mapping out our Fall 2025
We are beginning the course request process the week of April 22. 2025. Two high school classes a day are the expectation.
The Ghidotti office will consider all requests. Our priority is to meet each student's needs while working around their college schedule. These are requests only, and we will alter them as we balance class sizes and verify times for college classes. The Ghidotti school day is 8:30-3:30.
College registration will begin on April 30, 2025. Ghidotti students may register for up to 11 college units. Students in grades 10-12 must be enrolled in at least 6 college credits.
- Math 27 and Math 29 are now listed as restricted in the class schedule, so not everyone can sign up for them with the AB 1705 limits. Jennifer must know if you are planning on either of these classes so she can "manually" clear you to register.
- Kinesiology - only 2 GHS students per course. Planning on taking Sierra PE summer or fall? Email Jennifer with the term, class title, and CRN ASAP.
- Online classes - Ghidotti students may not take an online college course if it is offered in person on the NCC campus. A permission form is required with the reasons for the online class, along with a parent's signature.
Mon/Wed -- 2 HS classes a Day Required
Tues/Thurs -- 2 HS CLASSES A DAY REQUIRED
