If the student transfers from another Georgia school and the parent/legal guardian is unable to present a copy, this certificate should be forwarded from the last Georgia school attended to the new school.
If the Georgia Certificate of Immunization has an expiration date, the student will be given thirty calendar days after the expiration date to present a new certificate or be excluded from school.
All students beginning school in Georgia for the first time must also have Georgia Certificate of Vision, Hearing, Dental and Nutritional Screening (DPH Form 3300/REV 2013), which may be completed at the public health department, the primary health care provider and/or dentist. This information shall be turned into school officials at the time of enrollment.
LEVELS OF ACADEMIC CORE CLASSES
Level 1 – On-Level Classes: These courses are designed for students who are able to perform at grade level. Classes are designed for students who are college-bound or who will be entering the workforce directly out of high school. Students interested in attending “selective” colleges/universities should strongly consider enrolling in the higher-weighted Level 2 or 3 courses to demonstrate the ability to achieve in courses with increased rigor.
Level 2 - Honors/Accelerated Classes/DE Non-Core 1000 courses**. Hall County Schools honors courses and Carnegie Unit courses in middle school are designed to enrich and accelerate course content for a high level of rigor and challenge. These classes differ from on-level courses in at least three important ways:
• The content, process, products, and learning environment are appropriately challenging for advanced students
• Students have extending tasks, choice, independent research, and/or increased opportunities for creativity
• The curriculum is more complex and the course sequence is at a more rapid pace
Level 3 – Advanced Placement/International Baccalaureate/DE Core and DE Non-Core 2000 level courses and higher**:
Placement in AP/IB/DE Courses: The AP and IB Programs offer college- level courses that students can take while in high school; AP and IB courses include a required AP or IB exam, and students may earn college credit based on AP or IB exam scores. Dual Enrollment (DE) courses allow students to earn both high school and college credit. Schools place students in these advanced courses after careful consideration of their strengths and interests as well as their potential to be successful in these rigorous courses.
**DE Courses must be from GSFC Dual Enrollment Approved Course Directory.
If a parent would like to appeal a placement decision and request that your child be enrolled in an AP, IB, honors/advanced course, or a Carnegie Unit course while in 8th grade, please complete the appropriate parent waiver in the Google folder available below and submit it to your child’s Guidance Office.
