Miscellaneous Course Information
ADD/DROP
The add/drop period for each semester concludes at the close of the second week of classes. Students wishing to add/drop after this period must have the Principal’s approval. The scheduling process begins with students receiving placement recommendation from current teachers in English, Mathematics, and Science.
After all students have made their current course requests, a course request count is made which provides individual class enrollment figures. From these figures, the high school office staff determines the number of class sections needed, prepares the master schedule, assign teachers, order textbooks and supplies, etc. Therefore, it is essential that the students and his/her parents carefully select a program of study that best meets the students’ abilities and career plans.
A program selected after careful study and consultation should require no changes. Current teachers and the Guidance counselor are two important resources students can utilize to make this process successful.
We ask that all students/parents examine the information in the curriculum handbook. Any questions may be directed to the Guidance Office. Calais High School will make every effort to give students the courses they select. Students may choose an alternate course during spring sign-up that may be substituted if a conflict arises. Conflicts may occur when (1) a course must be cancelled due to insufficient enrollment, (2) if a student selects two courses that are offered at the same time, or (3) if the school is not able to offer a particular course.
Acceptable Reasons for Drop/Add:
- Course has been canceled
- Student is scheduled for two courses meeting at the same time
- A student is changing a level of English, Mathematics, Science, or Social Studies.
- Student does not have a least 6 courses on the current schedule
- Administrative Decision
EARLY GRADUATION
Early graduation is possible in less than four years, but not recommended. If interested, consult with the high school Guidance Counselor.
ADULT EDUCATION
Under special circumstances determined by the administration, credit earned outside the regular school day program applied toward graduation requirement may be granted through the Adult Education department and/or Summer School classes. A maximum of two credits total from Adult Education and/or Summer School may be applied toward a Calais High School diploma.
STUDENTS WHO HAVE FALLEN BEHIND
“Don’t give up the ship.” If you have fallen behind due to failures you can elect to make up the credits by taking extra courses during the next school year.
