[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Keep in mind that HS students don’t have to take 7 classes a year every year. My kid’s counselor said most 11th and 12th graders are just in the building right before and after lunch for the required math and English classes.

So [b]if a 7:45 start doesn’t work for your kid, take less classes during the school day.[/b] Take classes over the summer, online during the school year, and dual enrollment at MC[/quote]

Arriving later in the day is not allowed. If you request an abbreviated scheduled, counselors will make your 1-2 classes first thing in the day.

A few years ago, a neighbor kid had a unique opportunity for an internship that was 6:30-10:30 AM. He only needed English and one other class to graduate. The high school wouldn’t schedule him for afternoon only classes. His parents appealed because of the opportunity and lost. [/quote]

It depends on the school.  You have to go to Central Office and make a stink.  If you plan right starting in MS, your kids should only need math and english for graduation senior year.[/quote]
