PARENTS REQUESTING A TEACHER
While we support parental requests, no request will be considered prior to
random generation of schedules. A written request stating reason(s) must be
made to the high school principal. Request should be made when registering for
next year’s classes and by the last Friday in May.
Situations affecting the request(s) are class balance and overload; order of
request; teacher schedule; ease of change; yearly request completed; and
teacher/student history.
SCHEDULE CHANGES
Our Master Schedule is constructed, and faculty hired, based on the number
of original student course requests. Therefore, this policy is created to give
students, parents, and faculty in our school an opportunity to make timely,
efficient and intelligent decisions about students adding and dropping classes.
Students may request error or non-error changes in schedules with parental
permission before the beginning of first semester and/or second semester. Dates
will be designated annually for schedule changing deadlines.
DROPPPING A CLASS AFTER THE FIRST FIVE DAYS
If a student would like to drop a class after the first five days of a semester
he/she must fill out a request to drop a class form. All required signatures must
be obtained before a student will be removed from class. Student will receive an
“F” (failure) grade for the class on his/her transcript (exceptions will be
determined by administration). Dropping any yearlong course in the first
semester will result in a “W” for semester 2.
SUPPORT GROUPS
During the academic school year, Plymouth High School offers a variety of
support groups in which students may choose to participate. These groups
typically work together and discuss issues and concerns that may affect their
lives (for example peer relationships, family relationships, moods, stress/
anxiety). They learn how to support each other, problem solve, and use coping
strategies. These groups are facilitated by experienced and trained counselors
and are confidential. If you would prefer these support groups not to be an
option for your son or daughter, please contact the counseling department.
