Students with a grade of D or F will be dropped from that class either at the term or the semester. 2. To be classified as a full time IB student it is necessary to be enrolled in at least 3 classes that lead to an IB examination. Students with one or two IB classes will be classified as a regular student. IB students will only be allowed to drop classes at the semester due to IB Program requirements and the necessity to have a full academic load. 3. Students who enter the IB Program in the 9th grade will wait until their sophomore year to participate in the Student Government class. By the 10th grade, IB students will have an extra elective period in their schedule and will have successfully adjusted to the demands of the IB Program. 4.

Courses move quickly and large amounts of information are dealt with on a daily basis.
