The drop process only provides students the opportunity to drop a class; however, there is no option to add any North classes after the 5th day of school. Students may not exchange an AP class in any subject area for a non-AP class in the same area during the drop week. Students may investigate class options provided through eSchool.

A Teaching Assistant position is considered "service to our school" and therefore is not considered an academic class. Students must adhere to the academic attendance policy that requires students in grades 10-11 to have 6 academic classes (grade 12 must have 5). TA Application and Information
