The course selection process begins in the spring. Students are encouraged to choose courses carefully. Teachers will generally recommend a course level (CP, H, AP) for each student for the next year. If a student or parent/guardian has questions about a teacher’s recommendation, he/she should consult with the teacher. The teacher’s course level recommendation will become the student’s course level placement unless the student or parent/guardians initiates a course placement review process.

If a student believes he/she would like to change course levels, the first step is to discuss his/her concerns with the classroom teacher. Students wishing to override a teacher’s recommendation regarding course selection for next year, or wishing to change levels in a course once the school year has begun must complete a Course Level Change Request Forms, available here and in the guidance office.

Once completed and signed by a parent or guardian, the form should be turned in to the Guidance Office, which will forward it to the Department Director. The Department Director may contact the parent/guardian, depending on the nature of the request. The form must also be signed by the guidance counselor. Students must remain in their originally scheduled courses until they have received official notification from the guidance counselor to enter the new course.
