New this year.
Master Schedule and staffing decisions are based upon student course requests and determine what courses will be offered the following year. When students request classes through the course selection process much work goes into ensuring that the appropriate number of courses, taught by qualified teachers are made available. Therefore, once a student requests enrollment in an Advanced Placement class, we are unable to drop them. They must see through their commitment to the program. AP Agreement
