Schedule Changes

SCHEDULE CHANGES

  • Students making a schedule change after the schedules have been distributed must meet the  following guidelines and must demonstrate a compelling educational need.

  • The following are acceptable reasons for schedule review and possible changes:

    • To correct inappropriate class placement.

    • To correct scheduling omissions or an incorrect program.

    • To increase the number of academic classes.

    • To fulfill district and/or state graduation requirements.

    • To fulfill district and/or summer school requirements.

  • The following are not acceptable reasons for schedule changes:

    • Teacher preference.

    • Personal convenience of the student, such as having classes with a friend, not having PE first period, having classrooms closer together.

  • The deadline for extensive course selection changes is prior to the first day of the school year.

  • Course level changes are made by the end of the first marking period if the student is doing poorly academically (failing or in danger of failing) and would benefit from a change in the academic level of the course (i.e, Honors to CP, CP to Academic/Modified).

  • Students who request to drop a course level after the deadline are handled in the following manner.

    • Student will receive a WF on the transcript and that will be calculated into the student’s GPA for the full credit of the course.

    • Student’s current course grade is transferred to the new course for calculation of a final grade.

  • At the end of the first semester we will allow course selection changes based on the following criteria.

    • Requests will be approved for:

      • Students who would like to replace a study hall with an elective.

      • Students who want to change a Spring elective because they did poorly (D or F) in the prerequisite elective that they have taken in the Fall.

      • Students who need to change elective choices because of scheduling error. (For example, a student has already taken the course or he or she hasn’t taken the prerequisite)

      • Seniors who need schedule adjustments in order to graduate in June.

  • Students may change course selections in order take an Independent Study.  A team of faculty and administrators review Independent Study applications in the first 10 days of each marking period.

  • Students may change course selections to include Virtual High School coursework.
