Students select their classes in the spring during articulation with the clear expectation that the schedule created is final and changes are made only because of an error in scheduling or an inappropriate level placement. Changing your mind about the classes you want to take does not constitute a scheduling error.
Examples of inappropriate level placement
The student is placed in Spanish 3,4 but the student did not master the course content and is not prepared to go to a higher language level despite a passing grade.
The student is placed in AP Spanish without sufficient background in the Spanish language to succeed in the AP class, as determined by the teacher.
The Patrick Henry High School policy concerning the changing of classes because of a student's inappropriate placement takes into consideration all the stakeholders in the school community. The change must be in the best interest of the student taking into account that the leaving and receiving teachers agree to the change, and the size of both classes. The transfer grade would be determined through mutual agreement between the current teacher and the receiving teacher. The sequential procedure to facilitate an inappropriate level schedule change is to contact student's counselor to consult about change options.
