Note: While picking the class-term it is important to note that as the school year progresses, the way the grades are recorded changes. For example, after the 2nd quarter, grades are averaged with the first quarter to create the grade for the semester. After the first semester is over and grades have been recorded, the grades in the 1st and 2nd quarters may no longer be accurate.
