STUDENT CLASS SELECTION AND SCHEDULE CHANGES
The Evansville Schools will make every reasonable effort to ensure that students are enrolled in classes they need or request. Class schedule opportunities for students should provide flexibility, reflect achievable academic standards, and address divergent student needs. The processes of education should support ambitious teaching and promote high levels of success for all students. Core curriculum should include essential skills and areas of knowledge in which teaching and learning is personalized to the maximum feasible extent.
Student schedules for the ensuing school year shall be established annually by the building principal and counselor. Selection decisions made jointly by students, parents and school personnel during the spring registration period must be abided by in the fall. The courses of study and individual student schedules provided should reflect the needs of our students and their families. However, the district must also consider annual constraints such as teacher work load limits and the community’s ability to provide resources.
All changes in a student’s class schedule will be approved through the counseling office. Adjustments will be made only for valid educational reasons and in accordance with established building level procedures that are published in the student or parent handbooks.
