Course Recommendation Override Form
Parent/Guardian Preference Form for Placement in Non-Recommended Courses
_____________________________________ _______________
Student Name Date
Course placements are based on individual student achievement, test scores, and other academic data. These placements are based on research that support specific course selections to provide students with the most rigorous academic program. Parents/Guardians who request to change these placement decisions should be aware that:
- Students choosing a more rigorous course may need additional support (e.g., tutoring, extra study time, exam reviews, study groups, parental support, etc.).
- Choosing less rigorous courses may impact future high school course choices.
- Choosing less rigorous courses may negatively impact a student’s post-secondary choices (i.e. may not be as competitive for college admission).
- Each student enrolled in an AP course must make a committed effort to pass the AP exam.
- If a student does not take the AP exam for the class in which he/she is enrolled, the fee for the examination will be reported as an obligation.
