C. Schedule Changes and Dropping Classes
During the first week of the school year you may ask the counselor for a schedule change for an elective class.  Your request will be considered if it is for a legitimate reason.  If the change is approved, the counselor will notify those teachers concerned.  No schedule changes will be considered after the first week of each semester.

The principal reserves the right to transfer or place students in particular classes if the change is of benefit to the student or is necessary to balance class size.  You will be placed in classes that will challenge you to the best of your ability.

D. Grades and Report Cards
Grading periods are nine (9) weeks in length; grades are reported four (4) times a year.  Report cards will be issued following the end of each nine-week grading period.  Mid-term failing notices are mailed home each quarter.

Semester or half credit units compute successfully completed course work.  Quarter credits may be accepted for students at the discretion of the building principal.

E. Work Experience
Students must be at least 16 years of age and in the 11th or 12th grade.  Students must also have all appropriate forms (parent permission form, cooperative training agreement, Department of Labor Age Certification) on file with the counselor or the principal prior to beginning a work experience.  Students who work part time will receive a pass/fail grade.
