Course Selection: Course requests takes place every February for the following school year. New students fill out the class request form when a student is first enrolled in the school. Students are not guaranteed to get the courses they request. Requests are filled randomly by a computer program with core courses as the first priority and electives as the 2nd priority.
Course changes: Students may make changes to their requested courses, at no charge, up to the second to last week of the school year. After the school year has ended students may request to make a schedule change for $5 up through the first week of each semester (new students have one week from starting classes to make a change). Course changes are not guaranteed and are based on class size or other factors.
Students who are not initially registered for a particular course(s) MAY NOT enter and generate credit for the course after the first six school days of the term. COURSE CHANGES MADE AFTER THE FIRST SIX SCHOOL DAYS OF THE TERM FROM ONE SUBJECT TO ANOTHER UNRELATED SUBJECT MAY RESULT IN LOSS OF CREDIT. Day 7-10 the student may receive a “W” and NO credit will be generated in the class to which they transfer. Course changes made after the first 10 days of the term from one subject to another unrelated subject will result in an “F” on the transcript and no credit will be generated in the new course. Students requesting a released period must do so within the FIRST FOUR DAYS of the quarter. Students who are granted parent released time MUST vacate the building and school grounds during their parental released time. The school will not provide supervision for students during released time, and trespassing may be enforced. After courses for the semester have started, students desiring a course change should consult with the teacher and their counselor for approval. Dropping a class and requesting parent release is considered a schedule change.
To change a course you must fill out the course change form and have parent and student sign the form.
Course changes may be made for the following reasons:
-to change the course to an entirely different course
-to change teachers (when possible, request must be made by the parent)
-Special circumstances based on communication with counselors and Admin.
Students may not change their schedule to get a class with friends or to change lunches.
Lunch changes are granted based on the circumstances communicated with the Admin and upon Admin approval.
