The courses, the number of sections of each, and the staff assignments are determined on the basis of student requests. It is imperative, therefore, that students determine EXACTLY what they need and want to take. Occasionally, however, plans do change as new students enter or current students leave. These circumstances could cause changes in the necessity for a certain class and/or the availability of a teacher. The school, therefore, reserves the right to cancel, without further notice, any course listed in this bulletin. IF A STUDENT DOES NOT TURN IN A SIGNED CONFIRMATION SCHEDULE, A SCHEDULE WILL BE MADE FOR THAT STUDENT AND NO SCHEDULE CHANGES WILL BE PERMITTED. SCHEDULE CORRECTIONS During the registration process, counselors will work with English classes to complete the online registration platform. We ask that parents review and sign the registration form before it is turned in and confirmed. After registration forms are turned in, requests for schedule changes must meet the following criteria as classroom seats/space allows: 1. Written teacher requests for corrections relating to special courses. 2. Student failed the course or has failed to meet the requirements for the next level. 3. Student has already received credit for the course. Schedule changes for the following requests will NOT be honored: 1. Teacher preferences/conflicts. 2. Personal opinion as to the difficulty of the course. 3. Course does not meet at a convenient time. 4. Course is not what the student expected. 5. Last minute change of mind. 6. Lunch period preference Table of Contents ATHLETIC ELIGIBILITY
