• What are CIHS courses vs APLA? Both programs are recognized as advanced coursework and merit equal recognition on the transcript. College in the high school (CIHS) courses have relationships with outside Colleges or Universities. Roosevelt CIHS courses in LA are tied to the University of Washington. To get college credit for CIHS, you need to register with UW, and you get the credits if you pass the class. The UW credits are free. APLA is associated with college board, to receive college credit, students need a score of 3, 4, or 5 (out of 5), and there are costs associated with each AP test. Tests are taken in May each year. See our course description book for detailed information about these courses.

9th Grade Course Option worksheet 2025-26

Welcome to Roosevelt!

Registration for our incoming Freshmen class will begin 4/21/24.  We will notify our new students and families via email where to find the links and information on our website.  All new students will need to submit their course request to Roosevelt.

Current 8th graders who attend a SPS middle school will do online registration, available via the student’s Source account from Mon. 4/21/25 through Fri., 5/2/25. On that Friday, we will close the online registration portal. At that point, students who have not completed the online registration, or any students assigned to Roosevelt after the online registration has closed, must submit their course request via the Course Option Worksheet.

All incoming 9th graders who are new to SPS will not have access to the online registration portal and will need to submit their course requests via the Course Option Worksheet.

Please read through the information below and then either register online or fill out the Course Option Worksheet and return it to Roosevelt as soon as you can.
