• Guidelines for Exiting AAC (Academic Advance Course) course:

    Exit processes are necessary to assist students in making sound course selections decisions. Students and parents must be aware that, depending on the timeline, grades earned in AAC or AP courses follow the students to the corresponding on-level course. These grades will be included in calculating the on-level course grade and may impact UIL eligibility.

    1. Students are expected to seek support when needed to be successful in the AAC course. Actions taken should include tutorials and conferencing with the teacher.

    2.  Student must submit a formal request to be exited from AAC course. This request will be reviewed by the teacher and campus designee(s) to consider student performance, availability of space in other courses, grading timelines, and other factors that may be at issue. Students experiencing success (maintaining a C or better for the semester) should remain in the class for the semester.

    3. Students who earn an F in a AAC course at the end of the grading period may be removed from the class unless otherwise recommended by the teacher or administrator.

    4. Students who elect to take an AP class for which there is no academic equivalent will be required to remain in the course until the end of the semester. 

  • High School Credit Classes:

    If looking to take a high school credit course please keep the following in mind.

    1. It will impact your GPA and become part of your high school transcript
    2. 90% rule for attendance - Texas Education Code requires that a student be in attendance 90% of the school days a course is offered in order to receive credit for that course. Absences that have exceeded the maximum number of days allowed for the course, whether excused or unexcused, could result in the student not receiving credit for the course. 
    3. Semester Exams - all high school credit courses have an exam in Decemeber and in May. These exams are 15% of the semester grade and can't be taken early. When making travel plans for the winter holiday or summer break you must keep this in mind. If a student is not present for their final exam it will be a zero in the gradebook. 
    4. Communication is key, please contact your student's teacher with any questions as they are best equipped to guide you in the content of the course they teach.
