HIGH SCHOOL POLICY ON WITHDRAWAL FROM COURSE:
*PLEASE NOTE THAT CHANGE REQUESTS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED FOR PURPOSES OF TEACHER PREFERENCE OR ORDER OF BLOCK SCHEDULE
Students wishing to drop/add a class during the first two weeks of a semester may do so without penalty, but they must (1) attend classes until they have received an e-mail notification that their class change request has been processed and (2) complete a class change request form with appropriate signatures.The only exception to this policy will be for those students who have been placed in the wrong level of class through the scheduling process (ex. student is registered in Algebra and should be in Honors Algebra).
Beginning the third week of classes each semester, through the date of the first Progress Report (approximately six weeks), students who drop a class will receive a “W” (withdrawal) on their transcript. From the date of the first Progress Report each semester (approximately six weeks), through to the end of the semester, students who drop a class will receive a “WF” (withdrawal failure) on their transcript, which will be calculated as a failing grade.
Students who wish to drop an AP class at the end of the first semester must (1) meet with their Academic and College Counselor, (2) complete a class change form with parent signature, (3) speak directly to their AP teacher and receive a teacher initial on their class change form, and (4) notify any colleges they have applied to of this change in their academic program.
Students dropping an AP class at the semester will not be eligible to take the AP exam.
