Once enrolled, students must remain in the advanced course unless the parent requests, in writing, that their student be removed
from the course. Such requests must be submitted no later than the second Friday following the end of the first grading period.
After 30 days of instruction, the student’s teacher may determine that the student should be removed from the class based on the
student’s performance in the class. After conferencing with the parent and student, the teacher will submit a written request to place
the student in an alternate course.
