REGISTRATION INFORMATION


PRE-REGISTRATION GUIDELINES

As part of the Graduate Profile, counselors make every effort to aid students in planning their high school program and project this program toward long-term goals. However, the ultimate responsibility for the individual program must still rest with the STUDENT and PARENT. Therefore, students are encouraged to consider both graduation and post-high school education entrance requirements.

Students must choose their classes carefully. Starting the 21-22 year, counselors will recommend students for their core content classes, including English, math and science based on their Map Assessment scores and current academic grades. Students will select their electives, including two alternate elective choices. In the event some electives are filled or canceled, students will be enrolled in their alternate choice(s) in the order listed. Prior to fall registration, students will be scheduled into the classes selected during pre-registration unless the classes are filled or canceled. Parents and students should read course descriptions carefully before pre-registering.


Students should discuss their course selections with parents, teachers, and counselors before pre-registration, choosing courses that are challenging and that will prepare them for college and/or a career technical program. Most career technical programs require postsecondary education; therefore, it is prudent to keep student options open by choosing classes that will serve as stepping stones to further education. All students will enroll in courses to fill the required class load. There may be exceptions to this depending upon credit requirements. Student schedules will be created through a computerized scheduling program based upon the courses chosen during pre-registration.


THE LAST DAY TO REQUEST A SCHEDULE CHANGE WILL BE AUGUST 12, 2023 AND STUDENTS MUST EMAIL THEIR REQUESTS TO THEIR COUNSELOR.


CLASS CHANGE REQUEST POLICY

Schedule change requests, which stem from lack of effort on the student’s part or poor student discipline or attendance, are not granted. These problems should be resolved through counseling, discipline referrals, and conferences. Due to the Nevada State Department of Education regulations, no student schedules will be changed after the first three weeks of the current semester. Students who feel they are misplaced in a class should contact their counselor immediately. Class changes will NOT be granted to accommodate a change in a student’s lunch period or to change from/to a specific instructor.


Requests for a schedule change are only considered during the first three weeks of the school year and for the following reasons:

  1. The student needs another class for remediation.

  2. The student has already received credit for the class.

  3. Another class is more appropriate for career or college preparation.

  4. Counselor error in student placement.


In conformance to accreditation guidelines, the administration may, due to increased/decreased enrollment and staff changes, balance course sections by transferring students from one class and/or teacher to another section. Every effort will be made to ensure a smooth transition for students.


SCHEDULE CHANGES/DROPPING A CLASS

Since advanced planning and guidance are provided for each student prior to registration, schedule changes will not be made after registration. Those changes made after classes start must be based on a specific educational reason (misplacement, graduation requirement needed, etc.). After eighteen (18) days into the semester, no student may change or withdraw from a class due to the required number of hours to earn credit. Students who drop a class after the eighteen (18) day limit will receive an “F” on the semester transcript. Year-long classes are scheduled as such; therefore, students are expected to remain in the class for the duration of the academic year unless one of the exceptions noted above is met. The Administration may, due to increased/decreased enrollment and staff changes, balance course sections by transferring students from one class and/or teacher to another section. Every effort will be made to ensure a smooth transition for students.

DUPLICATE COURSE WORK - REPEATING COURSES

A student may repeat a course. A student shall not receive additional credit for the repeated course. The higher grade shall be recorded on the permanent record and the lower grade replaced with a repeated course notation. A student may repeat a failed course one time to improve a grade. Regardless of the number of times a course is repeated, a grade of an “F” will only be removed once. If applicable, all other “F’s” will remain on a transcript. Other rules apply; please see the official CCSD Repeat Course Authorization Form for further details. These may be obtained from the school counselor.
