Choose Your Courses WiselyFinal Course/Level Change Deadline
• July 30, 2020
• Elective courses fill quickly. The earlier a change
is requested, the more likely the change can be
made.
• Your schedule will only be changed in September
if there is a scheduling error.
• Failure to select your preferred elective
is NOT considered a scheduling error.
Course Change Procedure
During the School Year• To minimize disruptions of student schedules and to maintain class size
balance and continuity of instruction, changes in student programs must be reasonably restricted.
• No changes during the school year will be made without a parent’s signature and teacher input.
• Dropping a class cannot result in more than I full week study hall per year.
• A withdrawal from class will appear on the student transcript (WF/WP).
• See the 2020-2021 Program of Studies for details about Course/Level Changes.
Change to Class Rank Policy
for Class of 2024 and Beyond
Lenape Regional High School does not
publish or release class rank. We believe
that our students’ levels of achievement are
more equitably and fully communicated
through multiple measures than a single
figure transcript statistic
Waiver
Recognizing there may be limited
circumstances in which students may be
adversely affected without the release of
class rank, a waiver may be completed by
the parent/legal guardian and student
requesting that either weighted or
unweighted class rank be released to a
specific college/university.
Waiver Examples
1. If the student will not receive consideration for admission
without the release of individual class rank.
1. If the student will not receive consideration for a
scholarship, or admission to a particular program or
provided a benefit without the release of class rank.
1. If the student will not receive consideration for recognition
in certain local, State or national programs of recognition
without the release of rank.
