Advanced Course Agreement CISD strongly believes that PreAP, AP, and Dual Credit courses provide enhanced academic opportunities for students that will assist them in future academic or nonacademic pursuits. At the same time, the District recognizes that students may experience initial surprise or difficulty in managing the increased course requirements. A struggling student and his/her parent/legal guardian should schedule a conference with the teacher and counselor in order to create strategies to be implemented over a period of time. To ensure students allow sufficient time to become acclimated to the classes and what the PreAP and AP curriculum can offer, the District expects that any student who enrolls in the PreAP or AP class will remain in the course for the entire year. It is essential that the student give his/her maximum effort to succeed. At the end of the first semester, administration, parents, teacher, and student may evaluate the plan established earlier in the semester along with current student progress and may make an adjustment to the student s schedule. Any change will only be made on a space available basis.
Course Verifications You and your parents will have an opportunity to verify your course selections. Course verification will appear as a tab on the PAC and SAC accounts.
