Judge Memorial Class Change Policy

Students are encouraged to be thoughtful about course selection and take the process of registration seriously. Course selections determine whether classes are offered or not, and, if so, how many sections are offered.

• Careful consideration should be given to overall rigor of courses

• A student’s extra-curricular activities should be considered when choosing a course load

• Electives and alternate electives should be well thought out to complement a student’s interests and abilities.

• Parents will have an opportunity to review and approve their student’s course request in late February.

• Students will be scheduled based on course selection and availability.

• Due to the need to balance class sizes and obtain and optimal learning environment is every classroom, we will not accept requests for specific teachers.

• Elective class change requests will open for the first three days of each semester.

• If a class change can be accommodated, students will be moved by the end of the first week of classes.

• Please keep in mind a class change may result in a student moving into a different section with a different teacher for their core classes. This may require the purchase of new textbooks.

Please note that:

• Core class changes are limited to level placement (up or down) and are made in conjunction with the teacher, counselor, and with the approval of the Vice Principal.

• Students are not permitted to drop classes for free periods at any time during the school year.

• Course changes due to school error will be corrected.

• World Language classes will not be dropped once a schedule has been built
