Norris Drop Policy
Norris Drop Policy
The class schedule students receive at the beginning of the school year is based upon the registration process completed in the spring. Parents, students and the school must consider the spring registration process as being one of a near contractual agreement. Please note:
Class schedules will not be adjusted due to student work schedules or transportation arrangements.
Class schedules will not be adjusted due to before/after school extracurricular activities.
Class schedules will not be adjusted based on a request for a different period, teacher, or lunch.
Class schedules will not be adjusted based on a request to be with a student’s friends.
Schedule adjustments will be considered and made with administrative approval during the first five days of the semester for the following reasons only:
Documented health condition which makes participation and success in the course impossible.
The teacher of the course recommends the student be moved to an alternate course due to being misplaced based on academic ability.
The student failed a prerequisite course.
The student is a senior with an incomplete graduation requirement.
The student is requesting to move to a more rigorous / dual credit course within the same department.
Process for Schedule Change
Students must complete a Schedule Change Request form from the Counseling Center after confirming their request meets the reasons listed above.
Students will take the completed Schedule Change Request form to the teachers involved for signatures for input on possible effects and consequences of high school and postsecondary plans.
The last day students can drop a yearlong class with parental permission and submission of the Schedule Change Request form will be the last week of 1st semester. No changes will be allowed once the 2nd semester begins and all requests are subject to the reasons listed above.
Once schedules are set and the eCollect forms are completed in PowerSchool by the student and the parent (in the Spring preceding that semester), there will be no drops allowed for AP, dual credit, and college credit classes even with parental permission or request.
All approved schedule changes are contingent upon appropriate alternative courses and space within those course sections.
College/Dual Credit Drop Policy
Students have the first five (5) days of the semester (Norris schedule) to request a drop of the college credit portion of a dual credit course (parent permission is required)
Students will remain in the class for high school credit only (if taught by a Norris instructor)
NO drops are allowed for classes taught by college course instructors
The college’s (SCC, Doane, Wesleyan) drop policy and dates will be followed for the college credit portion of the class
