Schedule changes result in delaying the educational process and an imbalance (teacher/student ratio) in courses. Limited changes will be allowed during the first week of school. Ordinarily, a student is expected to enroll in six (6) class hours each day. Either principal or counselor must approve exceptions to this. The following are some exceptions: 1. Participation in the Vocational Programs (Juniors & Seniors) . 2. Participation in the “Dual Enrollment Program” ACADEMIC DIFFICULTY Students and/or parents are urged to view the parent internet viewer to stay current with their student’s grades. If problems occur, it is recommended that you contact the teacher to address the concern. Please refer [to our website www.whitehallschools.net](to our website www.whitehallschools.net) for more up-to-date information on your student’s grades and attendance. ALT

FAQs

What should students consider when selecting courses for the school year?

Students should use care and deliberation because the master schedule is built around student choices. Schedule changes can delay the educational process and create course imbalances, so limited changes are allowed during the first week of school.

What happens if a student fails a required class?

The student must retake the class and earn a passing grade to meet graduation requirements. If the retaken class earns a passing grade, the former “F” grade is changed to “N” and is not reflected in the cumulative GPA.

How do retake grades affect the student’s transcript and cumulative GPA?

A student may retake a class for better understanding and/or a better grade. If the original grade was below a B-, the improved grade replaces the previous grade on the student’s transcript and becomes part of the cumulative GPA.
