February 3 - March 6 | Waiver Window #1 A student may decide to waive into a course level that is above the level recommended. Parents may request a course-level waiver by completing a waiver request form. The decision to waive to a higher level should be after thoughtful deliberation and discussion. A student who waives into a class must remain in that class until the midpoint of the first semester (MP1). If a student decides to drop back down to a lower level the grade that the student has earned will follow them to the new course. Please note that weighting is not applied. Therefore, a student who has an average of 65 in Honors Algebra 2 and decides to drop to Algebra 2 at the midpoint of semester 1 will carry the 65 over to the new course. The semester grade will be an average of 65 and the grade earned during the second half of the semester. |
