FULL-TIME STUDENTS
A student in the Evansville Community School District is considered to be a full-time student if they are:
- An elementary, middle or high school student scheduled in classes for the entire school day (high school students should carry the equivalent of three credit hours per semester, unless travel to and from the institution requires additional time. Prior approval is needed for less than three credits;
- Scheduled into a partial day or provided homebound instruction as outlined in the Individualized Education Plan (IEP),
or a 504 Plan or accommodation plan;
- Participating in an alternative educational program with curriculum modifications approved by parent/guardian and School District officials;
- Involved in a work-based learning experience program or approved work-study assignment such as, but not limited to, youth apprenticeships, internships and cooperative vocational education programs;
- A secondary level student who attends an institution of higher education for concurrent high school and college or vocational credit;
- A resident student attending public school in another school district under the full-time public school open enrollment law or a tuition-waiver;
- An Early Childhood or 4 Year Old Kindergarten student.
Students of legal age (18 years) may be granted exemption from full-time attendance at the end of the quarter in which the student becomes 18 years of age provided a parent/guardian has given written approval and it is on file in the high school office. If this condition is met, a student must attend as many instructional blocks as is necessary to fulfill their graduation requirements. Students who are interested in participating in athletics must meet the full-time student status as required by WIAA.
