Classes at Eastmont

 

      • Required Classes
        • Required Classes are classes that everyone takes each year, like English, Math, Science, Social Studies, and PE.  At Eastmont, all 7th & 8th grade English & Math classes are given Honors designations due to our AVID teaching framework.  All students are provided with supports and scaffolds to be successful in each class.

      • School Directed Classes
        • School Directed Classes are classes you are placed in based off of different data points, including but not limited to, MAP test scores, RISE test scores, language proficiency test scores, and teacher recommendations. These classes are designed to give students extra support in reaching grade level proficiency. Some students have an Individualized Education Plan that indicates placement in specialized classes.
          • Examples of School Directed Classes:
            • Literacy Lab (Reading)
            • Math Lab
            • Study Skills
            • Resource Math 
            • Resource English
            • Accommodated Core Curriculum
      • Electives
        • Electives are the classes you get to choose to take based on your interests.  Electives provide opportunities to pursue current interests, and to explore new interests. Elective class offerings change each year and can be found on the registration card.  To view the current or future year offerings, please see the registration cards linked on the Eastmont website. 
        • If you need a reading class, math lab class, or study skills class, you may need to drop an elective to take these support classes.
        • Each year, the schedule of classes Eastmont offers is built based on the classes you (student) choose. This means that making schedule changes can be very difficult, or not possible at all. 
        • Counselors will look accept schedule change requests before school starts each year (for semester 1 & semester 2).  There is not a separate window for schedule change requests for semester 2.
        • There are some restraints to our schedule change policy, this is to remain equitable to all student requests & to encourage students to meet new friends.
          • We are unable to accommodate changing lunch schedules.
          • We are unable to accommodate changing schedules to be with friends in classes.
