SCHEDULE CHANGES
Students should involve parents, teachers, and guidance counselors to insure their course selections are appropriate to their needs and interests.
In general, schedule changes are discouraged after school has begun. However, special circumstances may arise.
Track Changes: Students may request track changes from one ability level to another at any time during the first or third quarters. Parent permission and the permission of the respective teachers are required before a track change can be made.
Dropping a Course for a Study Hall: Students may request to drop a course and add a study hall at any time during the first five weeks of a semester without penalty, providing a study hall is not already in their schedule. If a student does have a study hall and still wishes to drop a course, a grade of “F” and no credit for the course will be reported and calculated for the student’s semester report card. Parent permission is required to drop a course and add a study hall. If a student drops a class after five weeks into the semester, a grade of “F” will be reported.
Section Changes: If a student wishes to make a section change, at least one of the following criteria must be met:
-
the student has taken and failed a course with the assigned teacher.
-
the student has had a documented conflict with the assigned teacher; or
-
the student has been enrolled into the wrong course for the intended subject area.

SAT
The SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test) is given on several Saturday test dates throughout the year. The SAT is required for admission to certain colleges and universities. Most institutions will accept or prefer scores from junior year testing (spring and summer before senior year). A few schools require it to be taken in the senior year, no later than December. Some institutions requiring the SAT also require one or more achievement tests for admissions. Students should refer to each college’s catalog for specific information about which tests are recommended.
