You can optionally choose to take AP Calculus BC for college credit. If you want college credit, there are two ways to get it:
1) by taking the AP Calculus BC Exam in May
2) by enrolling in two 1-semester, 4-credit Rio Salado courses:
Fall: MAT221 Calculus w/Analytic Geometry I
Spring: MAT231 Calculus w/Analytic Geometry II
(You can take the AP exam *and* enroll in the Rio Salado classes, choose only one of these options, or do neither and just take the course for high school math credit.)
THE SHORT VERSION...
NOTE: You can take this course for Rio Salado college credit this year, even if you haven't taken Rio math courses before and haven't taken/passed their Rio Accuplacer test - this year only (because Accuplacer test centers are closed) they are accepting previous year math teacher recommendation to allow enrollment.

Try not to miss class, and try to catch up to the class as quickly as possible. When you aren't caught up to the class, it makes it difficult to understand what is going on, so even though you're in class, you aren't getting the maximum benefit from attending. As soon as you realize you are behind, try to catch up as quickly as possible.
