Schedule
Changes
Every
attempt will be made to schedule the student in the
courses listed on the student's choice sheet. Students
should not ask for schedule changes unless a genuine
mistake was made in the selection of courses that
will affect the student’s graduation plan. Students
should not ask to have their schedules changed merely
because a subject is difficult or because they do
not wish to have a certain teacher. Such requests
will invariably be refused.
In
some cases, schedule changes will be made at the end
of the first six weeks or the first semester if it
seems to be in the best interest of the student and/or
the school. After school has started and classes balanced,
only emergency changes will be considered. Students
should contact their class counselor or the main office
for a schedule change request form.
Dropping Courses:
A
full-time student may drop a course at any time
without eligibility being affected provided he/she has
a passing average in that course. Seniors who
have not mastered the TAKS, all junior, and all
sophomores must continue to be enrolled in eight
period (four each day if on block schedule.)
Seniors who have mastered the TAKS must be enrolled in
a minimum of six periods, no fewer than three periods
per day.
A
student may drop a course without penalty or loss of
eligibility only before the end of the fourth week
of the first six weeks of the school year.
This rule is applicable if the student is taking two
semester classes. There is no four-week
grace period for the second semester. If a
student is failing a course and is dropped after
the fourth week of the first six weeks, the
student shall remain on the computer roll and the
failing semester grade of 50 shall be reported. [(EED
(Local)].
If
a student drops a course after the fourth week of the
first six weeks, he/she will come under the following
guidelines:
-
If the student drops a class with a grade lower than
70 at the end of the grading period, he/she will
lose eligibility for seven (7) days following the
end of the three (3) week evaluation period.
-
If the student drops a class with a grade lower than
70 during a three (3) week evaluation period, he/she
will lose eligibility until the next evaluation
period. The next evaluation period could be
the next three (3) week, six (6) week, or nine (9)
week grading period or at the end of the 3, 6, 9, or
12 week grading period.
-
The student will receive a grade of 50 for dropping
a class.
