General Information

Classroom Reading Materials

Council Rock School District strongly encourages parents to survey the outstanding collection of challenging literature contained
within our program. Much of the content presents important and complex ideas that encourage critical thinking. Any connection discussed in class is made that much stronger by the conversation and connections that are made at home. We invite you to discuss any of the elements of our courses with your child’s teacher.

Consumable Materials Guidelines

The following guidelines apply to the use and purchase of consumable curriculum materials that are integral to the curriculum:

The district will provide consumable curriculum materials for student use. No charge will be imposed for the use of these materials unless the materials are misused as established by the textbook use procedure or if the student elects to write in the consumable without purchasing it.

Library Media Center

The Library Media Center is a hub for students and teachers seeking information. There are numerous books, periodicals, and audiovisual sources of information to support the curriculum. Supplementing this more traditional collection are the almost limitless resources provided by electronic databases, the internet, and links to a variety of library and information networks. 

The library also houses a multimedia lab and resources for the creation of a variety of multimedia projects and instructional materials. Library hours are extended beyond the school day to offer maximum access. The goal of the library staff is to develop skills in defining and solving problems; competence in finding, evaluating and using information from a variety of sources; and supporting enthusiastic attitudes toward libraries and reading for a lifetime.

NCAA Athletic Eligibility (+) 

Council Rock School District makes course recommendations based on the most appropriate academic placement. All students whose future plans include enrolling in college and participating in Division I or Division II athletics must be certified by the NCAA Initial-Eligibility Clearinghouse. It is the responsibility of the student to obtain the most recent evaluation of Council Rock’s approved course list from his/her counselor or the NCAA website at www.eligibilitycenter.org. All courses designated with a (+) sign have been approved by the NCAA for eligibility. Course modifications and new courses are submitted to the NCAA each year. Therefore, it is very important to check yearly for any changes in course approvals and eligibility requirements. 

Applications, available on the NCAA website, should be submitted to the eligibility center by the fall of the senior year.  Once students are registered with the NCAA, the school will submit an official transcript on their behalf. If this process is not followed, the student will not be permitted to participate in college athletics during the freshman year. 

To be eligible for Division I or Division II students will need to present 16 core courses in the following breakdowns: 

To students applying for NCAA Division I and II sports:

Any credits taken outside of Council Rock School District for either remediation or original credit may not be approved by the NCAA. It is the responsibility of the student to contact the educational institution to verify whether the course falls under the approved course list for NCAA. It is also the student’s responsibility to obtain a transcript from the educational institution indicating the course, grade and credit to include in his/her application for NCAA eligibility.

NOTE: (+) after a course title indicates an approved core course for NCAA initial eligibility.
