Subject: Question


We have always had seven class periods for every grade level a the high school.  It is district policy that all students be enrolled in seven class periods.  However, it has recently come to our attention that the state only requires six rigorous class periods.  We are considering a policy that allows our seniors to take only six class periods if they can still meet our 4 X 4 requirements as well as graduation requirements.

This has cause several logistic questions to arise.   I would like to have some feedback about what other schools are doing and how do they represent that on their SIS to meet WAVE requirements: are students only enrolled in six classes or are they enrolled in something for a seventh hour but not on the campus?

Can  you help me?

Mia
