Students should consider taking Concurrent Enrollment and Advanced Placement courses. With parent and counselor prior written permission seniors on track for graduation may register for a minimum of 6 credits with no fewer than 4 classes per semester. These 6 credits do not include Release Time (Seminary), Home Release, Aides, or other non-graded classes (see Senior Year Registration Requirement below for further details).

2. COURSE CATALOG: Read the course descriptions carefully to determine prerequisites or recommended progressions, grade level, amount of credit, general description of the course, fees required, and special registration instructions.

3. Determine if the courses you select are taught for one or two semesters. The course descriptions in this booklet will identify how many credits are earned when the course is successfully completed. Semester: .50 credits Yearlong (2 semesters): 1.00 credits

4. FEES: Many courses have fees associated with them. Please refer to the specific course description for details. For an example, the cost for all Advanced Placement (AP) Exams is $95 and all students who register for an AP class are encouraged to take the exam. *Fees are subject to changes upon board approval.

5. CLASS CHOICE: Students should choose their classes carefully. Teacher positions are gained, modified, or lost based off of enrollment numbers.

6. District/School CLASS CHANGE Policy: a. A student may change the level of a course (e.g., English 9 HNR to English 9) at any time in the school year. The student’s current grade transfers to the new course without adjustment. b. A course dropped in the first two weeks of a semester will not be listed on the transcript. A course dropped after the second week of term 1 or 3 but before the midterm will result in a ‘withdrawal’ (W) and will not affect grade point average (GPA). c. A course dropped after the midterm will result an ‘F’ or an ‘I’ on the transcript for the term. An ‘F’ and an ‘I’ affect GPA. d. Parent requests for class drop/change based on teacher choice may be accommodated at the conclusion of the term.

7. Incomplete or incorrect grades: a. A teacher may assign an ‘incomplete’ (I) to a term based on extenuating circumstances. Course work must be completed by the last day of the following term, or October 15 if the affected grade was received in term 4, to award a grade. An incomplete will be converted to an ‘F’ after the deadline. b. An incorrect grade must be identified and changed by the last day of the following term or October 15 if the affected grade was received in term 4.

8. Students entering from Out of District schools: a. Students who transfer into the district will have their incoming grade(s) assigned to the appropriate term(s). b. Students who transfer in after the midterm without a grade will be assigned a ‘no grade’ (NG). If there are extenuating circumstances and the students can demonstrate sufficient mastery of the content, the teacher may use their discretion to determine if a ‘P’ would be an appropriate option. A ‘P’ conveys credit for graduation but does not affect the grade point average.

9. EARLY GRADUATION: Students interested in early graduation should see their counselor at least one semester in advance of graduating to go over early graduations requirements.

10. WORK CREDIT: Students interested in Work Credit should see their counselor for a Work Credit referral.
