Course Change Policy

Communication is frequently the key to understanding and resolving problems, disagreements, or misunderstandings that arise due to a student’s classroom behavior, a teacher’s instructional methodology and grading expectations, or the relationship between a student and teacher. Good communication is often the best way for students and teachers to resolve problems and strengthen problem-solving skills. Changing teachers to resolve disagreements is a very last resort. 

Following are steps that students, teachers, or parents must take before consideration is given to a change of teacher:

Teacher or student/ parent initiates oral communication with each other to explain, discuss and try to resolve the problem. 

If the problem involves inappropriate student behavior (non-suspendable offenses), the teacher takes normal steps to correct the behavior including conference with student, phone calls to parent, and teacher detentions, or other teacher-assigned penalty. 

Teacher or student/ parent ask counselor for assistance in resolving the problem if it has not been resolved thus far. At this point an in-person conference is recommended between the parties involved. 

If the initial problem was behavior, then the student is referred to their Assistant Principal. 

If the problem is still not resolved after these steps, then counselor and/or administrator may decide, in conjunction with the parties involved, that a change of teacher should be made. 

Drop / Add Policy

1) Mandatory changes. These include:

Graduation requirement needs (mainly seniors).

Changes determined by IEP, 504, or English-language-learner proficiency.  

Programming errors on the part of the school. Be advised: course placements resulting from student failure to select back-up courses do not fall under this category. Choose back-ups during course selection thoughtfully!

Schedule changes needed due to major and unforeseeable personal situations.  

Mandatory changes are allowed as necessary, with the approval of school administration.

2) Student Proficiency  Changes.

In this type of change, teacher and student agree that a class is not at the appropriate skill level for the student. It is important to note that this determination can only be made if the student has shown appropriate effort, seeking out academic supports, attempting to complete homework and classwork, and coming to school regularly.  

Proficiency changes are allowed up to five days after progress reports are mailed (for quarter 1 in the first semester and for quarter 3  in the second semester). These changes are conditional on course availability.

Changes That Are Not Allowed

Students are not able to change courses because of a change of mind in summer or fall. Similarly, preferences for teachers are not allowed.

If a student must drop a course outside of the allowed situations outlined above, the student will receive an ‘F’ for the semester.
