  willing to accept the challenge of a
  college-level course?

30
Will I be able to change my schedule next year?
Read the Schedule Adjustment Guidelines Choose
your courses wisely. The choices you make now
will determine your 2008-2009 schedule.
Schedule changes will not be made to accommodate
teacher requests, off-campus classes, or
extracurricular and athletic activities.
31
Schedule Adjustment GuidelinesContinued

• Mandatory schedule changes will be made
• for students who completed an approved
• summer school course or for students who
• failed a course.

32
Schedule Adjustment GuidelinesContinued

• Adding/Dropping courses requests will be
• considered during August school business
• days. Courses will be added to replace a
• dropped course if
• they improve integrity of schedule for graduation
  or college eligibility purposes.
• there is space available in an elective class
  during the same period as the dropped course.
• After the first day of school, requests will
  require a
• conference with an administrator. If approved
  the
• student may be required to make up missed work.

33
Schedule Adjustment GuidelinesContinued

• Level Changes (from an honors/AP course
• to a college prep course) will be considered
• During the first four weeks of the semester,
• if there is space available. Prior to any level
• change being made, student and
• parent/guardian must have contact with
• current teacher.

34

need to bring with me on that day?

you parent/guardian) course selection sheet to
your English class on Tuesday, March 11th or
Wednesday, March 12th. You will meet
individually with your counselor at this time.
