Scheduling
A large part of our school counselor's job is to create schedules for our students. Each year in the spring, we hold an open house to introduce our building and staff to incoming freshman students. Our counselors discuss scheduling, classes and graduation requirements with students and parents to help them prepare for selecting classes for their first year of high school. Our counselors then go to our middle schools to talk with incoming freshmen students about their class options and help them choose the classes they would like to take here at EKFC.
During a student's freshman year of high school at EKFC, they will take full year classes in Math, English, Science and Social Studies. They will be able to choose 2 classes each semester of electives giving them 6 classes each semester. Each class is worth 1/2 credit which allows them the opportunity to earn a total of 6 credits during their freshman year.

Attendance
One of the biggest factors for success in school is attendance. Losing learning time by not being present in school will quickly affect a student's grades. Please be aware that missing several days of school, excused or unexcused, will affect a student's grade and/or grade point average. For further detail, please see our STUDENT HANDBOOK.
