PERRYSBURG HIGH SCHOOL
SCHEDULE CHANGE POLICY
Students and parents are asked to carefully select the courses that will best meet the needs of the student at the very beginning of the scheduling process. A great deal of assistance is available through the guidance office in this process and the student or parent need only make an appointment to receive help. These course selections are used immediately to make staff assignments for the coming year as well as to determine when the various courses will be offered. For these reason all requests are considered final and may only be adjusted for a very good reason.
REASONS ACCEPTABLE FOR CLASS CHANGE:
1. The course the student requested was not offered or it was offered at a time that would not fit into the student's schedule.
2. The student became part of a specialized group e.g.(O.W.A., L.D., etc.) and adjustments need to be made to accommodate his or her I.E.P.
3. A medical, emotional, or family emergency indicates that a change is in the best interest of the student.
4. The student followed the recommendations of the teacher and guidance personnel, but is determined to have still been misplaced in one or more classes.
5. The student has recently moved into the school district and is determined to have been initially placed inappropriately in one or more classes.
6. The student is found to not meet the prerequisite for a course he or she is scheduled into.
7. The student fails the first semester of a year course and the teacher, parent and student feel that he or she should drop the second semester to pick up another course.
8. The senior student fails a course required for graduation first semester and needs to drop a second semester course to have room to repeat the required course second semester.
9. The student is failing a course at mid-term or quarter and the teacher feels that after considerable effort on the part of the student and the teacher, the student is still unsuccessful.
10. The student has made a career choice change and needs to schedule a course for the new career which he does not have room for in his schedule. This is not to be interpreted to allow a course to be dropped because it is perceived to be not needed in the new career choice.
No class may be added after classes have been in session for five days.
Classes dropped within the first five weeks of the semester will not
be reflected on the student's transcript. A grade of "W" (withdraw)
will appear on the student's transcript for any course dropped after the
fifth week of the semester and prior to the beginning of the next quarter.
A grade of "F" will appear on the student's transcript for any
course dropped during the second or fourth quarters (also the third quarter
for year courses) regardless of the grade at the time the course is dropped.
Changes initiated by the students teacher or guidance counselor will not
be reflected on the student's transcript.
