TERMINATION OF ENROLLMENT
Students terminating enrollment during the academic year will not receive credit for courses enrolled in at the time of withdrawal. To earn credit, students must complete course(s).
COURSE ADD-DROP POLICY
1. When any student drops a class, he/she will be required to add another class.
2. Students who wish to drop or add a course must do so two weeks before school starts for the fall semester and before the beginning of the semester for spring classes. Barring emergency or extenuating circumstances, no classes will be changed after the start of a semester.
Students who are concerned with their placement or performance in any given course will address the issue first with their teacher for support to be successful.
Following that meeting, the student or teacher may refer to the school counselor for further guidance.
Students who find that their situation cannot be resolved initially with the teacher or school counselor will then meet with the assistant principal and appropriate persons (e.g, school counselor, parent, teacher, etc.).
The meeting is not a guarantee to change a course but rather is intended to assist the student in being successful in the current course.
Teachers who are concerned with a student’s placement or performance in any given course that cannot be initially resolved with the teacher alone will address the issue with the student and parent. If unresolved, the teacher will seek support from the school counselor and assistant principal.
