Things to consider when choosing your courses

  given my responsibilities outside of school?
• (work, athletics, other)

AP CHALLENGE
If I take an Advanced Placement (AP) course, am I
willing to accept the challenge of a
college-level course?
28
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.
29
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.

30
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.

31
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.

32
When will I meet with my counselor and what do I
need to bring with me on that day?
You must bring a completed and signed (by both
you parent/guardian) course selection sheet to
your English class on Monday, March 17th or
Tuesday, March 18th. You will meet individually
with your counselor at this time. It is very

elective class chosen. Student and
Parent/Guardian signatures are required to
complete the registration process.
