Schedule Changes
Each student is required to take a minimum of six (6) classes each semester. A significant amount of time is spent each year in assisting each student to identify a proper listing of courses for the following school year. Students may make adjustments during a designated week in August for one of the following reasons:
-
Computer error on the schedule.
-
Study hall/or some subjects not balanced each semester.
-
Add a course during a study hall.
-
Courses listed on the schedule that was taken in summer school.
Students in all grade levels may add a class in place of a study period during the first eight (8) school days of either semester. Students may drop a class, without penalty, up to 8 days in a semester course and a year-long course. After this period of time, a WF (withdrawal-fail) will reflect on a student’s transcript. Under special circumstances, a student may be withdrawn from a course after 8 days without penalty of a WF.
Steps to follow for handling course level adjustments:
-
Course level adjustments can be initiated by parent, student, or teacher.
-
Teacher/student communicates with the parent(s) to be sure all three parties agree.
-
Student obtains Change of Course form from the teacher; teacher/student then submits Change of Course form with appropriate signatures to counselor/administrator.
-
If appropriate, the department chair sees counselor to determine which course best suits the student’s needs; the department chair then informs that teacher of adjustment.
-
Student brings the slip to the counseling office and returns the books to the teachers. The counseling office adjusts the schedule. If a student or parent questions a placement, contact with the appropriate school counselor will initiate a review. Administrators and/or school counselors may recommend moves because of needed adjustments. If a student does not meet the prerequisite for the course, the teacher should notify the appropriate school counselor.
