Courses: Adding Dropping

There are two occasions where students are able to add/drop classes:

A student can add/drop a class before the end of the school year prior to when the course will be taken if there is space and/or the change does not adversely affect the class balance.
A student may also drop/add classes before the end of the first week of school with the permission of the HS principal. However, changes will only be granted under the following conditions:
- The student completed a summer school course that allows them to take a course in which they could not enroll.
- There is space in the class in which they desire to enroll.
- The change does not adversely affect other classes.

If a student wants to drop a class after the first two full weeks of school to take a study hall, the student must provide a written request by a parent and can withdraw with a WP (withdraw while passing) or WG (withdraw with grade), neither of which affects the GPA. AP students can change from AP to the regular course by September 30 without it affecting the transcript. Students who change from AP to the regular course after September 30 will receive a W (withdraw) for the AP class.
All elective classes are yearlong. There will not be any elective changes after the first semester.

Students enrolled in yearlong electives (such as chemistry, and AP calculus) are expected to take the class for both semesters. Exceptions may be granted by the principal, based on a written appeal by the parent and in consultation with appropriate teaching staff.
