This section of the Academic Planning Guide includes course descriptions, prerequisites and grade level eligibility of courses offered by San Marin High School. Most courses are offered year-long and are 10 credits.Fee PolicyThe Constitution of the State of California provides for a system of free public education. State law prohibits the charging of fees to public school students in grades K-12. Novato Unified School District Board policy requires the district to provide funding for all instructional activities. However, there are some elective classes that do request a fee for materials (see below). If a student cannot afford the materials, please contact a counselor for a waiver. (Board Policy 6161)
Activity Courses- Art, Industrial Arts, BusinessAll materials necessary to complete any class with a grade of A (if earned) shall be provided. Students who wish to take projects home, to use more expensive materials or to pursue special projects may do so after paying for the actual cost of materials to be used.
Workbooks and Lab Materials
The district shall provide not less than class sets of any workbooks or lab manuals used for instructional purposes. These materials will be available to the students during class, for a reasonable amount of time after school and can be checked out overnight for home use. Students may be forbidden to write in these workbooks or manuals. Students who wish to have a personal copy of a workbook or lab manual may purchase them from the school or from private sources. No student shall be penalized in any way for not having a personal copy of a workbook or a lab manual.
