The purpose of the Schedule Planner is to help you ensure that your schedule meets Mentor High School’s requirements. Sophomores
must schedule a minimum of 12 modules each semester and junior’s 12 modules one semester and 10 the other. Also, physical
education must be taken either first or second semester. Seniors must schedule a minimum of 10 modules each semester. Some
courses require permission for enrollment. The student must have the appropriate department coordinator or teacher initial th e planner
to approve these courses.

Drop and Add Regulations
Students are required to take a minimum number of courses each year. This “minimum course load” includes both required courses and
elective courses. With the guidance of parents, teachers and counselors, students select these courses during the registration period.
This is the time when “schedule planners” are completed. In addition to the required courses, students have an opportunity to select
whatever elective courses they wish. The Program of Studies Booklet is the students’ and parent’s guide for making these selections.
During the time between registration and the end of the school year, students and parents may discuss and request changes in these
courses. After the close of the school, no courses will be dropped from the student’s schedule at any time unless: 1) a technical error
was made in the process of scheduling the student’s requests, 2) the student has been clearly academically misplaced, or 3)
there is a scheduling conflict. This is partly due to the fact that the teaching staff has already been hired/reassigned to teach the
courses and sections required by the previous spring's sign up. Students who wish to drop or change classes due to academic
misplacement must do so no later than the end of the semester for year classes, and the end of the first 9 weeks of a semester class.
Students may be permitted to drop a class at the beginning of the following year through the second week of school, as long a s another
class is added during the same period. This would again depend on class size and staffing considerations. Students are encourage d to
sign up for, and follow through on, as many courses as they and their parents and counselors feel they are academically able to
attempt.
Courses may be added after the close of school in the spring and during the next school year during the first two weeks of each
semester if the class the student wishes to take is not filled. Schedule changes will not be permitted on the basis of teaching
style, personality, or time of day.
I understand it is my responsibility to see that requirements for graduation are met. I also understand the “Drop
and add regulations” in effect at Mentor High School.
