The commitment for Honors/AP classes is for the entire year, and typically includes required pre-requisite work that must be completed prior to the beginning of the course. Disenrollment Procedure

Students are enrolled in Honors/AP classes for the entire year. The rationale for this practice is as follows:

 Students request enrollment in all Honors/AP classes through an application process and are expected to adhere to their commitment for each Honors/AP course selected.  Parents give written consent to all Honors/AP student applications and are informed in advance of the disenrollment policy.  Applications are screened by Honors/AP teachers to insure that students have the appropriate skill levels and motivation for success in this level of class.  Mid–year disenrollment would require other non–Honors/AP classes to absorb the disenrolled students, resulting in larger classes.

To drop a Honors/AP class, a student must meet one of the following criteria:

 The student has not passed a pre-requisite course.  The student has a Medical hardship as evidenced by a doctor’s letter.  There has been a recommendation from the Honors/AP Disenrollment Committee for the student to drop. (The Disenrollment Committee is composed of the student’s teachers, counselor, administrator, and other school personnel as needed. Referrals may be made to the committee by parents, student, or any school staff member.)
