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:
10 th 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)
12 th 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 from the textbook room on the 600 hallway. Textbooks will be issued
under the student’s name, and an ascension number 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 textbook room or Learning Commons within five (5) days of issuance for
repair, replacement, or notation of damages. At the end of each semester, students will return textbooks and
calculators to the textbook room. Students are responsible for returning textbooks/calculators with the ascension
number issued to them. Each item returned will be credited to the person to whom it was checked out.
Students are financially responsible for textbooks and school calculators that have been lost, stolen, or damaged.
Those damages that render a textbook or calculator unfit for use will be assessed at the full price of the item.
Students who owe fines for textbooks or calculators will not be allowed to park a vehicle on campus and will
not receive tickets for commencement exercises at the end of their senior year until all fees and fines are paid.
