    Do you have a list of requirements and/or business rules that you used to construct your tables and relationships?
    It is the business rules that you represent with relationships among/between tables. Without business rules or requirements, one can only guess at whether or not your model represents the business adequately.

    you basically ONLY need relationships on Parent & child tables.
    like parent t.Student
    child: t.ClassesEntrolled

    reference tables dont really need it.

    None of your Relationships are correct.
    You should Enforce Referential Integrity between related tables.
    You can PM me if you need further help.

    Here is a student roster data model from Barry Williams' site (no longer online). It may give you some insight on tables and relationships. The model identifies entities/attributes and relationships in a typical :StudentClassesTeachersAttendance scenario.
    It should give a good starting point and can be appended to, edited... as your needs dictate.
