POLICY FOR SCHEDULE CHANGES:
August 19, 2022 – Last day for student-initiated schedule changes. Summer changes do not include teacher or lunch assignments. Once the school year begins:
o Students will remain in classes for the first two weeks of school. No schedule changes will be made.
o In weeks 3 and 4 of school, schedule changes are permitted for academic misplacements (with teacher and parent approval) AND elective changes can be made (from one elective to another – also with parental approval).
o From week 4 of school through week 8, the only type of change will be for academic misplacements (with teacher and parent approval). Deadline: a week prior to the end of the 1st marking period
o After week 8, no schedule changes will be made unless they are approved by a principal.
o For second semester classes, students will only be able to make a change up until the second week of the course (week 2 of the 3rd MP).
All summer course changes must be requested by August 19, 2022. Once the school year begins, any schedule change will be recorded on the student’s transcript (for example, if a student withdraws from a course with a passing grade, the student will receive a WP; if the student withdraws from a course with a failing grade, the student will receive a WF). * The transcript will reflect all schedule changes once the school year begins per the grade policy listed above.
Full-year classes are only awarded credit in June. Credit is awarded in January for semester 1 classes and in June for semester 2 courses. If a student drops a course, he/she shall receive a WP/WF indicating withdrawal. Scheduled courses may not be discontinued without student, teacher, parental, counselor, and administrative approval for sufficient reason. Alternate selections to meet annual credit requirements must be determined at the time of withdrawal. Students may be dropped from a course for disciplinary reasons and in that instance, do not have to maintain the minimum credit requirement.
Students who have not completed the necessary requirements for graduation may not participate in Commencement exercises.
