Welcome to LBHS! - Class of 2025 Incoming TMS Students Freshman Registration Packet
Dear Parents of Future LBHS 9​th​ Graders:

Welcome to LBHS! As we continue to work virtually, the LBHS counselors are planning on
devoting as much time and attention to our incoming 9th graders as possible. We will be
hosting a Zoom presentation, emailing out information, meeting with students virtually, and
posting everything that your student will need to know to transition to high school on the
LBHS website.

Attached you will find the 2021-2022 Course Registration Packet and the Freshmen Course
Registration sheet. This packet includes important information about athletics, dance
auditions, clubs, community service, course descriptions, and online course registration
materials. We do not expect you to print out the packet, but rather keep it for reference. It
will also be posted online on the LBHS website under the Counseling, Registration tab.

On ​February 8, 2021, ​we will be hosting an 8th Grade Family Night via Zoom
https://zoom.us/j/6154173602   and we hope that through viewing this presentation you will see
all that LBHS has to offer and will help guide your student in choosing their electives. A
recording will be posted to the LBHS website following the presentation with instructions to
update your academic plan in Aeries.

February 9 - February 26, 2021: Window for students to complete their academic plan in
Aeries. LBHS Counselors will be available for optional 10-minute student check-ins to assist
our future Breakers with completing their academic plan by appointment.

February 26, 2021: Academic plans are due and need to be submitted to the student’s
counselor for approval.

Your patience and flexibility are greatly appreciated and we look forward to partnering with
you as we prepare your student’s transition to high school.

Your LBHS Counselors,

​Core Academic Placement Guidelines
Welcome Incoming Freshman Families!​ ​Laguna Beach High School is very excited to welcome you
to our school, and we look forward to sharing all of the opportunities we provide. This letter explains
the core academic course placement guidelines for course selection. It is our goal to ensure that
your student is placed in the most supportive learning environment so they may achieve the highest
level of success.

Math and Science Success
Placement into freshman mathematics should be based on past performance and grades,
assessment data, as well as teacher recommendation. We highly recommend that all students have
a strong Algebra foundation as it is the base for future math courses. Data shows that students who
take Algebra in 8​th​ grade that do not have a strong foundation, perform average and below
average in mathematics throughout high school. Often, this discourages students from moving
forward with their math sequence, and as a result, they only take the minimum three years of math at
the high school level. Colleges and universities are looking for students to have four strong years of
mathematics upon entry to college.

Freshmen Placement Recommendations:
      ● Algebra 1 and Integrated Science 1
      ● All Freshman students will be placed in Integrated Science 1
      ● Geometry is recommended for students who earned a grade of A or B in Algebra 1 along
         with a strong assessment performance.
      ● Algebra 2 is recommended for students who earned a grade of A or B in Geometry along
         with strong assessment performance.

Note​: ​Honors placement will be determined by the readiness test in addition to the above criteria.

English
All freshman students can register for English 9 or English 9 Honors. For honors placement, a student
must have demonstrated a strong English foundation with performance, grades and teacher
recommendation.

Global Studies and Skills (Success Academy) / Health
All freshman students are placed into Global Studies and Skills (GSS)/Success Academy as well as
Health. Each semester course satisfies a Laguna Beach High School Graduation Requirement.

Note: If you have a question regarding your student’s core academic placement, please speak to
your student’s current academic teacher.

Reminder​: ​Monday, February 8, 2021​ is our 8​th​ Grade Parent and Student Night beginning at
6 p.m. via Zoom. We will have administrators, counselors, student representatives available
to answer questions.

Advanced Placement and Honors Courses

Laguna Beach High School is committed to providing an environment in which all students have equal access
to all classes, including Honors (H) and Advanced Placement (AP) classes. All classes are open to students
who have successfully completed the recommended preparation, made an informed decision, and understand
the course expectations.
We encourage all families to strongly consider the course descriptions, expected homework requirements,
extracurricular obligations, and recommended preparation before enrolling Honors and AP courses.
The content of AP courses is determined by the College Board. Honors courses are locally designed to
prepare students for the rigor of AP courses and exams. Students should consider projects and exams may
overlap and can result in work-load fluctuations.

    Please review the high school website for detailed information regarding expectations and
    guidelines for the individual honors courses:
        •   LBHS link - https://lbhs.lbusd.org/
        •   Click on Counseling tab
        •   Click on Academic Planning
        •   Click on Course Catalog

    Honors and AP courses are designed to be rigorous and demanding. It is expected that you
    understand the intensity of these courses and commit to necessary work to endure success.

    LBHS faculty and administration expect once a student is enrolled in an Honors or AP course, they
    will remain in that course for the duration of the school year; however, if a student chooses to drop
    an Honors or AP course, it must be done within the drop-date window. The student’s current grade
    will transfer as is to the new class. Please refer to the LBHS Student Handbook and/or the school
    website for specific drop dates.

    SUMMER READING AND/OR WORK MAY BE REQUIRED for Honors or AP courses. Please
    check the high school website homepage in early June for specific class requirements (books,
    packets, etc.).

Physical Education/Sports

In order to graduate from California public high schools, students
must complete specified state and local graduation requirements.
California Education Code Section 51225.3 specifies that students
           must pass a minimum set of required courses.

             Please note that students are required by
         California State Educational Code to complete
       (2) years (20) credits of Physical Education/Sports.
FRESHMEN are required to be enrolled in a physical education course
(sport, dance, cheer, band, etc.) for BOTH the fall and spring semesters.

                Maximum of ten (10) credits earned
                  per year in Physical Education

            For Dance, Marching Band and Drumline,
               please refer to that specific elective.
Athletics/Sports
        Sports can be used to fulfill the LBHS requirement of 20 credits of PE

•    Try-outs are required for all sports teams.
•    If a student makes a team, their counselor will add the sport to their schedule once coaches submit
     rosters in the fall/winter/spring.
•    Fall and Winter sports are listed on fall schedules and transcripts, spring sports are listed on spring
     schedules and transcripts.
•    All 9th and 10th grade students must enroll in PE or an after-school sport.
•    If a student drops or is cut from the after-school sport prior to earning 20 credits, the student must
     take PE to fulfill the graduation requirement.
•    Students who quit or are removed from a sport are subject to a withdraw/fail “W/F.” See Student
     Handbook.
•    To participate in try-outs and sports during the school year, a Breakers Athletics Online Packet
     MUST be completed on line at www.AthleticClearance.com. No exceptions. After completion of
     the online process, print a confirmation sheet for each sport that you would like to participate in,

Podcast                      Grace Barsamian        I have been doing in a podcast club for 2 years at my old school, and it was so much fun. The second year I became one of the co
                                                    leads, of which I have also been doing podcasts on my own ever since. I feel LBHS could greatly use a podcast club. Kids can
                                                    come and talk about school and what’s happening every week. I have equipment recommendation if necessary, as well as the
                                                    recording program. The main podcast itself would be a weekly breakdown on what's happening at LBHS. This is why I feel the
                                                    name The Breakers Breakdown would be suitable for the podcast. I really feel some kids would really like to become a part of this
