Parents/guardians, we need you to work with your student and the staff in planning an appropriate program of study for your student.To assist you with this process, we strongly encourage you to think beyond next year and develop a four-year plan for each subject area.

10 Osseo Area Schools 2026-2027 Registration Handbook Opportunity for post secondary credit or certification Planning InformationTRIMESTER CREDITSThe ISD 279 school year is divided into three 12-week trimesters. Students are advised to carry 6 credits per trimester.TRIMESTER REQUIREMENTS9th and 10th graders must carry six credits per trimester. 11th and 12th must carry five credits per trimester.GRADE REPORTINGStudents and parents will have access on StudentVue and ParentVue to two formal reports each trimester–one at mid trimester and another at the end of the trimester. Within a trimester, Schoology provides updated progress grades.PASS/FAIL GRADINGThis grading is an option for elective courses if the student follows the requirements established in the student handbook. Pass/Fail is not permitted for required courses except by administrative decision.WEIGHTED GRADESISD 279 high schools allow for the use of weighted grades for classes such as Advanced Placement (AP) courses. The weighted grading system adds a value of .34 to any grade of \"C\" or higher earned in an identified course. Final transcripts will show both a weighted and unweighted GPA.REPEATING COURSESRepeating a class to improve a grade or remove a failure is usually permitted. It is the student’s responsibility to inform the registrar’s office when the repeated course is completed. When two classes with the exact same course number appear on the transcript, the best grade will be retained. The other class remains on the transcript and an “NC” will be given in place of the previous grade. An additional credit is not earned when repeating a class, with the exception of some “lab” or “studio” classes.COURSE CHANGE REQUESTS Once the registration process is complete, class change requests are discouraged, and in some cases, not possible. AUDITING COURSESAuditing classes (taking a class for no credit) is not permitted under normal circumstances.Specialized ProgramsMULTILINGUAL LEARNERS (ML) Students whose home language is a language other than English, or who come from a part of the world where the variety of English is very different from American English, may qualify to receive support from the Multilingual Learners (ML) program.

SPECIAL EDUCATION Special education is specially designed instruction, above and beyond what is available in the general education setting, and is designed to meet the individual needs of students with a disability. There are 13 disability categories specified by the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE). Eligibility for special education services is determined following a comprehensive special education evaluation. Special education services are based on the results of the evaluation and an Individualized Education Program (IEP) is developed based on student needs.The referral process for special education begins with the student’s general education teacher communicating a concern to the parent and development of an intervention plan to help the student be successful in the general education classroom. If this plan is successful a referral is not made to special education. If the student continues to struggle then the teacher would develop a second plan based on the data collected from the first plan to help the student be successful in the general education classroom. If this plan is successful a referral is not made to special education. If interventions are unsuccessful, a referral will be made for a special education evaluation.Parents and students may also discuss concerns with teachers, counselors, or administrators. Parents and students may request implementation of an intervention plan by contacting their teacher, counselor, or special education building coordinator. A parent may also ask that their child be assessed. The special education evaluation team would consider the request and meet with the REGISTRATION INFORMATION

Contact your Case Manager for more information, referral and application process.POST-SECONDARY ENROLLMENT OPTIONS (PSEO) Postsecondary Enrollment Options (PSEO) is a program that allows 10th, 11th and 12th grade students to earn both high school and college credit while still in high school, through enrollment in and successful completion of college-level, nonsectarian courses at eligible participating postsecondary institutions. Most PSEO courses are offered on the campus of the postsecondary institution; some courses are offered online. Each participating college or university sets its own requirements for enrollment into the PSEO courses. Juniors and seniors may take PSEO courses on a full- or part-time basis; sophomores may take one career/technical PSEO course. If they earn a \"C\" or higher in that class, they may take additional PSEO courses.There is no charge to PSEO students for tuition, books or fees for items that are required to participate in a course. Students must meet the PSEO residency and eligibility requirements and abide by participation limits specified in Minnesota Statutes, section 124D.09. Funds are available to help pay transportation expenses for qualifying students to participate in PSEO courses on college campuses. Schools must provide information to all students in grades 8-11 and their families by March 1, every year. Students must notify their school by May 30 if they want to participate in PSEO for the following school year.
