Guide page 1 for Geneseo High School
Graduation Requirements & page 4 for
college admission recommendations.
• Refer to pg 2 (course offerings).
• Check the “Graduation Requirements”
tab in your Skyward Access Account.
Making up credit if you
failed a required class(es)
• If you failed a first semester class and the make up
class is not on the list of courses, select “Make-Up S1
90601”.
• If you failed a second semester class and the make
up class is not on the list of courses, select “Make-Up
S2 90602”.
• You may select “Make-Up” only once each semester.
We will replace the class with the actual class failed
before your schedule is built.
• The only courses you can repeat for credit are band,
choir, and physical education.
Selecting Electives
• Classes with terms “S12” meet either
semester
• Classes with terms “S1” meet first semester
• Classes with terms “S2” meet second
semester
• Make sure you select both semesters of a
year long course (i.e. English, math, science,etc).
Your course planning guide indicates whether a
course meets for a semester or is year long. Do not
select a course with 9 as the second number without
teacher permission.
PE Waivers
•
•
(see instructions on waiver form)
Participation in Interscholastic Athletics and Activities (Juniors and
Seniors only) including Maplettes, Cheerleaders, Gymnastics, and
Swimming. Waivers do not include Managers and Trainers.
For additional information, students should see their guidance
counselor. Students requesting a physical education waiver must apply
during spring scheduling. An athlete who does not make a team or fails
to try out for a team must contact a high school counselor and
immediately return to physical education class by the following school
day. An athlete who quits the team after practice has started will be
required to repeat the entire semester of physical education regardless
of the waiver status in the following semester. Students are solely
responsible for requesting a schedule change if they are no longer
eligible for the PE waiver. Failure to follow these directions may
compromise the student’s graduation status. A physical education
waiver may impact a student's grade point average and class rank.
PE Waiver
• PE Waiver 1S (50341)
• PE Waiver 2S (50342)
• Students cannot have 2 study halls in the
same semester.
IMPORTANT NOTE!!!
• You will find the required PE Waiver form on the
counseling webpage under “Course Planning”. The
form must be stapled to your printout of course
requests to be eligible.
