Course Waiver Procedure
1. Students wishing to be placed in a course for which they were not recommended must meet with their counselor to discuss their request and secure a waiver form.
2. The student's parent or guardian must complete and submit a letter by April 7, 2006 requesting a waiver of course placement criteria.
Students submitting waivers after April 7 may not be enrolled in the requested class if it is at capacity.
3. The following stipulations apply when requesting a waiver:
· Eighth grade students may not use the waiver process to enter any ninth grade class except Honors Algebra II.
· High School students must have a minimum of an 85 GPA to use the waiver process to enter a level 3 class.
· Students must remain in the selected class for the entire year and will not be removed for non-performance.
4. If a student elects to take a course for which he or she was not recommended and begins to have difficulty maintaining satisfactory grades in that course, every effort should be made by the student and parent to assure that all possibilities for successful completion are addressed.
Waiver Provision: The Superintendent may consider a request for waiving the above limitations for just cause. Examples of situations warranting a waiver would be low enrollment of the second year of a foreign language; basic skills; remedial classes; and/or special education classes.
