Course Level Overrides

COURSE LEVEL OVERRIDES

Verona High School believes it is ultimately the decision of the student and the parent as to the level and course for which your child will be scheduled. Verona High School teachers and counselors will advise the student and the parent as to their professional recommendation pertaining to course schedule requests. If a parent and student do not agree with the course for which they were recommended, they must complete the Course Override form no later Friday, April 9, 2021 and acknowledge the following:

1. The student was not recommended for the course.

2. The level change indicates a faster pace and increased rigor of the course. In order for the student to be successful, he/she may have to increase their study habits, stay after school for extra help, and/or get assistance from a tutor.

Once the student is added to this course, he/she will have five school days after first marking period interim reports have been released to parents to do a level change. However, the move is not guaranteed and is dependent upon space and availability. This could potentially mean that the change cannot happen if a course is already full or the student schedule may have to be rearranged and other classes dropped to accommodate the request.

* Course Override Requests made after Friday, April 9, 2021 but before September 26th, 2021 will only be honored if there is availability.

* Students will be expected to complete the coordinating summer assignments regardless of the date the course is entered. Deadlines will be decided by the teacher in coordination with the student.
