HOW TO USE THIS PLANNER
This planner is designed to assist Lathrop students and parents in developing a high school
program of study. As students develop their program, they should remember to select courses
that meet graduation requirements as well as courses that meet their individual interests, ability
level, and future goals.
The school year at Lathrop is organized around six (6) periods, which vary daily. Seniors who meet
the credit and course requirements and have administrative approval may enroll in fewer than
6 periods. See the requirements for an Excused Period in the Miscellaneous section. All other
students are required to be enrolled in six (6) classes each semester.
As you begin to develop your program of study and your selection of courses, you should consider
the following steps:
Step 1: Decide where you want to be as you complete your high school career. Which
of the following options do you want to have open for yourself following high school?

requirements you can satisfy while you are in high school. You may also want to
explore college or university catalogs to determine if there are any additional courses
they would suggest taking while you are in high school. Your counselor can assist
you in obtaining this information.
Step 2: Develop a four-year plan.

environment to enhance student learning. Technology is an integral part of my educational
experience as a student and my use of it must support the educational objectives of the school

responsible and appropriate manner. I understand that the school district’s definition of
technology includes, but is not limited to, computers, peripherals, electronic devices, software,
Internet, e-mail, cellular telephones, personal digital assistants and all networks. My use of the
district’s technology is a privilege. I am responsible for the appropriate use of all technology to
which I have access.

research, and the educational goals and objectives of the Fairbanks North Star Borough

not limited to, copyrighted material; threatening, pornographic, or obscene material; or

can be a violation of school rules, resulting in discipline, including loss of technology
privileges. Violation of local, state, and federal laws may result in consequences including
prosecution for violating these laws.

but are not limited to:
