We wish everyone a safe, exciting and enjoyable GCW! Below are a few notes about schedule changes and thinking about next year’s schedule:
Schedule changes for this semester can only be made for the following reasons and by the following dates:
- If a teacher recommends a level change due to misplacement (i.e. Math HL to Math SL, Extended Math to Core Math, Spanish III to Spanish II), a change can be made with counselor, parent and administrative approval. The original class will not appear on your transcript. Deadline is Friday, February 14.
- Between the fifth and tenth week of a course, if a student needs to move down a level, the dropped course will be listed on the transcript with a WP (Withdraw Pass) or WF (Withdraw Fail). WP or WF grades are not included in the calculation of GPA nor are credits granted. The grade calculated in the new course will start fresh and only include work completed for the new course. Deadline is Friday, March 20.
- No level changes afterMarch 20.
