Ms. Powers met with all dual enrolled students this week to review the expectations for a successful semester.
If you have a child who is currently dual enrolled, please review the following expectations with your child.
We are aiming for an 100% success rate!
Students are expected to be in their dual enrolled class everyday and on time. If for any reason your child needs to be absent from his/her dual enrolled class, he/she needs to make his/her college teacher aware in advance. Your child’s college teacher has given your child his/her contact information.
Students are expected to be in and remain in the online lab or designated classroom when they are not in their dual enrolled class but in school during the dual enrolled time. They are expected to be working in their dual enrolled course while they are in the online lab/classroom. They are not permitted to leave the online lab/classroom during this time unless they get permission from the main office.
Students are expected to email or talk to their dual enrolled teacher anytime they have questions or concerns about the course. They should get to know their instructor early and understand how to reach their course instructor when needed.
Students earning less than a C in a dual enrolled course are not permitted to take a dual enrolled course the following semester at the expense of the school district. They are also required to reimburse the district for the cost of the course.
Students who are not able to maintain positive school attendance are not permitted to dual enroll again in future semesters.
Students are not permitted to drop their dual enrolled course without talking to the counseling office first. If a student feels that he/she is doing poorly in his/her class, he/she should come talk to the counseling office right away.
Students who withdraw from the college course outside of the allowable withdrawal window will be expected to reimburse the school for the cost of the course and will not be permitted to dual enroll the following semester at the cost of the school district.
Students are expected to keep parents up to speed on their grade and how they are doing in their dual enrolled course. There should be no surprises at the end of the course regarding whether your child passed or failed. Students are required to make the counseling office aware of their college course/s grade as requested.
If the school has rented the book for your child, your child is required to return the book to the school at the end of the semester.
Any speeches or assessments that your students need to do, must be done during the time of your student’s dual enrolled class. Students are not permitted to come out of other classes to do this work on dual enrolled coursework. Students are also not permitted to pull other students out of other classes for any reason.
The grade for the dual enrolled class will go on your child's COLLEGE TRANSCRIPT. Your child does not want to start college with any failing grades.
Finally, dual enrolled courses are not high school classes. The ownership of the class is on the student. Students are expected to complete all of the assigned work to their best ability and take ownership of the class, the work, and their progress. If you have any question or concern about dual enrollment expectations, please feel free to contact the counseling office. After reviewing these expectations, and signing your name in agreement indicating that you have read and reviewed these expectations with your high schooler, please return this form to the counseling office.
