Goals shall be established against which student performance can be judged, and the building principal and teachers are accountable for the use of sound evidence and good judgment in evaluating progress toward these goals. Our policy includes several steps. Teacher and student discussion of the situation and teacher-parental contact is mandated prior to withdrawal. During the first ten days of the class the student can drop without consequences. The student must see a counselor to drop a class or fill out the request form to see a counselor prior to the end of the third day of class each trimester.
Parent gives permission to drop the class.
If a student drops a class that is a graduation requirement, we ask the parent to acknowledge understanding that the student will not be allowed to participate in graduation until the course is successfully completed. The time at which the course is dropped will be a factor in whether or not the credit can be pursued in summer school. We do not accept night school or credits from other institutions for the purpose of make-up credit. We offer summer school and require the student to meet our PPO s in summer school. Summer school is not used for original credit in academic courses.
