The only changes being made to second semester schedules are for those students who have failed a class and cannot move to the 2nd semester course or for seniors who need a class to meet graduation requirements. Most of these changes have already been made.

Schedule changes will NOT be made for the following reasons:

· Teacher or class period preference

· The student doesn’t like the elective and wants a different elective

· Level changes (AP to Honors, Honors to CP) because current level is impacting GPA

· GPA concerns

· The class is not needed for graduation

Students were advised during the registration process last Spring to choose wisely as their choices were yearlong choices and changes would not be made between semesters.

Please remember YOU are responsible for your attendance.

Please Follow These Check Out Procedures...

In the attendance office we want to make the process of checking your student out as seamless as possible. We can do this by following these simple steps:

• Prior to 7:15 am, the student should provide the Attendance Office with a note from the parent or guardian stating the date, parent contact number, the time requested for the check-out, and the reason.
• The student's absence due to checking out will only be excused if it meets one of the approved reasons(please see the GCPS Handbook).
• The student is then provided with a check-out pass to be shown to the classroom teacher at the time of the check-out. This pass should be brought to the Attendance Office to complete the checkout process.
• If the parent cannot be contacted, the student may not be allowed to check out. A parent or guardian must be contacted to grant permission before a student is allowed to leave campus. Students will only be dismissed to the parent or guardian or the emergency contact listed in the Parent Portal. Students who leave campus without following the check-out procedures will be considered AWOL from school and disciplined accordingly.
• Or a parent must come in and show ID to check-out student.
• For security reasons, we do not permit call-in or email parent check-outs. If a student is sick or has an emergency, the school clinic or attendance office will contact a parent/guardian or emergency contact. Students will only be released to parents/guardians, or emergency contacts that are listed on their account.
