Schedule Changes

Students can request a schedule change only if the request involves the addition of a new course or the removal of a course currently on the schedule. These procedures will allow for greater opportunity for students to take courses that best fit their interests and support their high school and post-secondary plans.

Adding a Course
Students may add a course in place of a free hour or study hall during the first three days of a semester if space is available in the course. Students must consult with the teacher regarding make-up requirements for any missed content.

Dropping a Course
Students may withdraw from a course until eight days after the end of the first six-week grading period. Please note that in a full-year course students will only have the first five days of the second semester to drop. Students who drop a class after this time will receive a grade of "WF" and have a failing grade included in their grade point average. Students must maintain a minimum of five courses for credit.

Level Changes
On occasion, students may need to change the level of the class in which they are enrolled. In order to do so, students must:

•    initiate a level change discussion with their teacher
•    demonstrate that they have completed all homework and sought additional help from the teacher or resource area staff member
•    request that their teacher complete the level change form. After the teacher contacts the parents, the request will be forwarded to the content area Director and counselor for approval.

Students must remain in class until the level change is made by the counselor.

Downward level changes will be allowed until eight school days after the end of the first six-week grading period of each semester. The letter grade at the time of withdrawal from the class is the grade that accompanies the student to his/her new class.
