“D” and “F” Grades: Implications for College Entrance, Graduation, and Summer School:
Students who receive a “D” or an “F” in a college prep course (i.e. math, science, English, social studies, Foreign Language, Visual/Performing Art, etc.) MUST improve the grade to a “C” or better if they wish the course to satisfy a college entrance requirement. Current seniors MUST immediately notify their college in writing if they have a change in their academic program from that which was reported during the application process. Students who receive an “F” in any course required for high school graduation MUST repeat the course.

STUDENT SCHEDULES NEXT YEAR
PARENTS AND STUDENTS SHOULD KEEP THE FOLLOWING KEY POINTS IN MIND WHEN SELECTING CLASSES FOR NEXT YEAR:
1. Sophomores must take six (6) classes. Juniors and seniors must take at least five (5) classes. However, it is recommended that students planning to attend a community or four-year college after graduation take six (6) classes.
2. It is recommended that all students planning to attend college after graduation, including community college, maintain enrollment in college preparatory classes.
3. Students and parents should ensure that students choose courses that will satisfy college entrance requirements. The CVHS Curriculum Guide is an excellent source of information and can be downloaded on-line at the CVHS Guidance webpage.
4. If a student failed a class this year, that class will stay on the student’s fall schedule for remediation. However, should the student successfully pass the class during summer, then the class will be removed in the fall and the schedule adjusted accordingly. Some elective courses may not be available at that time.
5. Students should choose classes wisely. Student course requests to a large degree dictate course offerings; therefore, some course changes may not be possible in the fall once the master schedule is set. Making appropriate and accurate course selections now will help ensure the best possible schedule for each student.
