Registration Guidelines
Administrators will ensure all students are registered and enrolled through the school counseling department in collaboration with teachers/advisors. See also Welcome Center information. If a student enrolls after a course has started, attendance counts from the first day of the course, not from the day the student enrolls. Students transferring from another school and /or students transferring from one course section into another course section of the same level receive credit for the days attended in the previous school or course. Students transferring from another school receive credit for previously completed coursework whenever comparable.
Students are encouraged to register for courses that provide the highest level of academic challenge, meeting their abilities based on available data, recommendation by a teacher and/or school counselor in the core instructional areas of English, math, social studies and science. Parents, teachers, and school counselors are encouraged to offer positive guidance and direction in assisting a student in establishing goals and making realistic choices. If a student and their parent select a course level that is not recommended by a teacher or school counselor, the parent will be asked to sign a waiver of the recommendation that indicates the preferred course level.
