If you do not meet the cut-off score this Spring, you will have an opportunity to take the exam again next January. If you do not meet the cut-off score at that time, you will only receive High School credit for the class.

  22. Additional Information You must plan well for the entire year because courses you choose during spring registration will be FINAL. Certain electives will only be offered if there are sufficient students enrolled to warrant the formation of a class. Once your schedule has been finalized this Spring, there should be no need to change your schedule.  However, if a situation should arise in which a schedule change is needed, you will need to obtain a DROP/ADD Form from the Guidance Office and get the signatures of both teachers, AND a parent or guardian signature, before the schedule change will be made. Please discuss your course choices with your parent(s)/guardian(s) before registering online.

  23. REMINDER: • When filling out your registration worksheet, remember to put the course number AND description on your form. This will speed up the registration process. • You must choose 1 Alternate class for each trimester and list them on your registration form. Do not use classes that have already been listed in your regular requests. If you do not choose alternates – we will do it for you. • It is important you make your choices carefully and return your registration form by the due date. • Before school is out in June, Mrs. Doylewill meet individually with students to resolve any schedule conflicts.
