* Note: Eligibility rules are complicated. A student taking seven classes would need to pass a minimum of five in a semester to maintain eligibility and earn required units to stay on-track for graduation. GHSA requirements may be found at www.ghsa.net
RELEASE OF DIRECTORY INFORMATION TO THE ARMED FORCES
Names, addresses, and telephone numbers of junior/senior students will be made available to the armed services. If students wish their names removed from this list, they must make a written request to the counselor's office.
SCHEDULE CHANGES
Schedule changes may be requested during the first five days of classes. Requests will be approved only when based on valid academic reasons.
A student may not withdraw from a course after five school days. The principal may allow a student to transfer to another course after the fifth day if extenuating circumstances warrant such action. Legitimate reasons for dropping/adding a course within the limited number of days may include the following:
• The student has already received maximum credit for the course.
• The student is taking a course out of sequence.
• The student is a senior and needs another class to graduate.
With the exception of those in their fifth year of high school, all students will be required to enroll in seven (7) periods per day, or the equivalent, each semester. Enrollment may include any course in the High School Planning Guide, as well as DE, credit recovery, Georgia Virtual School or other district approved courses. All students who have completed graduation requirements by the end of the fourth year in high school will terminate high school enrollment and graduate. Exception to this rule may be granted only through the student’s IEP/IAP.
Requests for schedule changes will be contingent on available space in the class a student wishes to add. Changes in a student’s schedule will not be made to move a student from one teacher to another or from one period to another unless the school must do so to balance class sizes.
SCHOOL INSURANCE
School insurance is available for purchase to all students. Applications for school insurance are given to students at the beginning of each school year. Additional applications are available in the school office.
The Hall County School District is not liable for injury or held responsible for payment of medical bills that are associated with a student’s participation in extracurricular activities.
SCHOOL JURISDICTION
School social functions are for the school’s students and their dates only. Students are under school jurisdiction and authority at all school-sponsored events and activities. Students will be expected to follow all policies governing student behavior during all activities involving the school, including extracurricular activities. Student’s dates must be approved by the school administration. Adults that are 21 years of age or older shall not attend a school function as a student’s date.
