Course Selection

One of the most common questions asked when building your master schedule are whether or not you are using the correct courses for your situation.  To assist with this, it is important to determine: 

  • Course Length (terms) - there are different course numbers for courses that meet for a quarter, semester, or a year

  • Course Length (periods) - courses that meet longer than one traditional period are "block" courses and have their own course number (see block example above

  • Course Type - ESL, Gifted, VCAP, etc. all have distinct course numbers.  Please make sure that you are using the correct version.  

    • ESL teachers should only be teaching ESL courses

  • Please review the Course Numbering Standards page to see how to identify the correct courses by course number

Course Setup

Determine when the course meets:

  • Quarter (only 6th grade Unified Arts in most cases)

  • Semester (course number ends with a "5")      

  • Year-Long (course number ends with a "0")

 

  • Block (has a "B" suffix)

                          

Do NOT set up courses for lengths other than what they were intended. For example, 960015 is a semester course, and the Section Schedule Placement should reflect this, as shown in the semester example above. If you check too many or two few boxes, teachers will not be able to grade the courses appropriately, and students may not receive the proper amount of credit that the course is designed for.
