[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do one quarter first. Then. Choose. [/quote]

You can switch classes after an entire quarter?[/quote]

You have until the end of first quarter to drop with no penalty.  For some reason I can only find it on Edison's page, but the policy is the same for the whole county

[quote]A student must have guidance and/or administrative authorization and written parental permission in order to drop a class. Requests to drop IB classes will not be considered until the end of 1st Quarter. If a student is allowed to drop a class from his/her schedule, the following is the result:

--During the first quarter – nothing is recorded on the transcript.
--After first quarter report cards have been distributed until the end of third quarter – Withdraw Passing (WP) or Withdraw Failing (WF) is recorded on the transcript.
--Fourth quarter – requires Principal permission and a WP or F is recorded on the transcript.[/quote]

Until the end of the quarter it will look like your child was enrolled in the other class the whole time.  After the end of first quarter, it will show both classes (honors with a withdrawn/passing and regular with a class grade). My school has done course changes as late as February.[/quote]

Middles school students can expunge and retake any high school class that they take in MS. OP's child could take the class and expunge the grade at the end of the year. Some people do this, the kid earns a C, they expunge the grade and retake the class with a better result. Some kids understand that they didn't do great the first time through because they were doing more advanced work and are ok repeating. Some kids take a huge hit to their confidence when they have to drop down or retake a class. [/quote]

Correct. But if they drop the honors, move to regular in november, and don't expunge the algebra 1 credit completely, both will show up.  As far as I am aware, you cannot expunge a partial credit.[/quote]
