SCHEDULE CHANGES After registration, students may request a schedule change only if credit has already been received for the class scheduled or if a mistake occurred during registration. Students are given several opportunities to edit their course requests prior to the beginning of the semester; therefore, schedule change requests will not be available after the semester starts (exception: teacher recommendation). Students who withdraw from class after ten days will receive a failing grade of no less than a 10 unless there are unusual circumstances. STUDENT CLASSIFICATION Students are promoted according to the following units of credit earned: 10th grade 5 units (including 1 unit each in English, math, science) th 11 grade 10 units (including 2 full units each in English, math, science) 12th grade 16 units (must have taken and passed the appropriate state assessments) It is critical that parents monitor their students’ grades to be sure they are making satisfactory progress toward graduation. Students must meet eligibility requirements. See the section on eligibility for details. TEXTBOOKS Textbooks will be made available to students in each class for which a textbook has been adopted by the Cobb County Board of Education. Calculators can be rented through the media center. Textbooks will be checked out to students on the textbook circulation system from the book room. Textbooks will be issued under the student’s name, and the bar code assigned to the textbook and/or calculator. Materials are routinely checked for damages on check-in and check-out; however, if you receive a textbook or calculator that is damaged, return the item to the Media Center within five (5) days of issuance for repair, replacement, or notation of damages.
