Scheduling Procedures

 

Students will select classes for the next academic year late in the first semester or early in the second semester. It is important that parents, students and counselors work together to select classes that help meet a student's academic, career, and collegiate goals.   The school's master schedule is set and teaching assignments are made based upon student class selections so students should not assume that classes may be easily changed at the beginning of the school year.  

 

Most years, next year schedules will be provided to students in the spring. These schedules should be carefully checked and the counseling office should be contacted before the end of the school year concerning any requests for changes. Students will be allowed to request any schedule changes before the end of the school year. The counseling department will do its best to accommodate requests for changes as class size and balance allow.

 

At Back to School Days in August, students will receive their official schedule for the academic year. Changes of schedules will occur for the following reasons:

 

  1. Changes in a student's special need status, IEP or resource requirements.
  2. Medical issues as documented by a medical provider.
  3. Errors made by the school in developing the schedule.
  4. Changes that allow students to qualify for the Academic Honors or Core 40 diploma.
  5. Failure of a prerequisite course as identified in the ZCHS course descriptions.
  6. Failure of a course required for entrance into post-secondary education.
  7. Failure of a course required for post-secondary study as document by the institution.
  8. Failure of a course required for graduation.
  9. Dropping a study hall for a credit bearing course.
  10. Dropping an elective class for a required class.
  11. Balance of class size as determined by the school.
  12. History of failure in the same course taught by the same teacher.
  13. Change to planned graduation date.
  14. Adding a class to continue the sequence of a year-long course.
