Guidance
PROGRAM PLANNINGDuring February and March of each school year, students and parents are involved in the process of selecting subjects and planning for the following year. After the programs are finalized, the student, parent and division teacher sign the Subject Election Form, which is returned to the school. PLOT THE COURSE FOR FOUR YEARS The sequence of classes students take depends on the specific program they are enrolled in: Academic Center, International Baccalaureate Diploma, Middle Years, Education to Careers, World Language and International Studies and General High School students should make a plan for their 4 years course of study using the requirements for their program. Currently, the school year consists of 7 classes per year. PROGRAM CHANGES Written requests for program changes for the fall semester are accepted in the Programming Office until July 16. At that time, all data are submitted to the Chicago Board of Education and the schedules are printed. Requests for program changes after the semester begins should be for errors only. Requests for program changes including dropping classes must be made to the student's counselor by a parent personally or in writing. Before the counselor submits program changes, a parent-teacher-student conference or parent-administrator conference should occur if the request is not related to a programming error. 300 minutes of instructional time is the minimum requirement for all student programs -- seven 45-minute periods. Any program changes after the first marking period may jeopardize credit and class rank. OFF-CAMPUS SCHOOL REGISTRATION Students who wish to register for any classes off campus (Youth Ministry, Evening School, Correspondence School, etc.) must see their counselor to obtain a permission slip. A student who registers without counselor approval may not be awarded credit for a course taken. A school administrator must give final approval. |
