Some Precautions for Students: Students are expected to attend all courses on their timetables. Students do not have the option to stop attending an assigned course. Any student who chooses to stop attending a course will receive a failing grade on his or her permanent transcript. Course changes will not be permitted unless there are special circumstances. All changes must be approved by Student Services. Therefore, students/parents are expected to review and confirm course selections carefully. List of acceptable reasons for course changes. The Student: • is registered but does not have a timetable • is in grade 10 or 11 and is not in 8 or 7 courses, respectively, for the year • does not have the pre-requisite for a course s/he is taking (eg. In grade 11 English, but does not have grade 10 English) Others course changes are on a case-by-case basis if room exists in the course (at the discretion of Principal) Late registrations - Students who are not registered and in class in early September or February, will find they will not be enrolled until the next semester. The only exception to this will be students who have been registered elsewhere and are transferring to Island View High School directly from another school. Although semestering offers the opportunity to repeat a failed course, the school cannot guarantee the possibility for students to repeat a failed course in the next semester. It is critical in semestering that students choose their courses wisely. This is especially true for grade eleven students. Grade eleven marks are very important to university and scholarship applications, as are first semester grade twelve marks. Counsellors will attempt to balance courses between semesters whenever possible. Students are responsible for checking this aspect of their timetable in September.
Residency Requirements
2018—2019
established by the school board, students may be permitted to attend an alternate school in the city provided accommodation is available. Students are responsible for their own transportation. The procedure to be used is as follows: a. Out-of-Area application forms are available in all schools and at the HRSB office, and must be signed by the principal of the school that the student wishes to leave. b. Out-of-Area application forms can be accepted by the school to which a transfer is desired throughout the school year. c. Out-of-Area application forms must be signed by parents or guardians of the student. d. Parents will be informed between June 2 and 28 whether or not the accommodation can be made. e.

C. Select Elective Courses:
When an IPP is developed for a student in a particular course, It is done so with the understanding that the learning outcomes have been modified or changed to accommodate that particu lar student, therefore, the credit will be identified as an IPP credit.

Learning Centre support will enable these stu dents to realize their full potential in society and may provide students with work placements, communication skills, organi zational strategies, literacy and numeracy skills, computer skills etc.

FRENCH IMMERSION Enrollment in the Immersion program is normally limited to students who have completed a similar program at the junior high level or who have come from a Francophone school system. Students must successfully complete nine French Immersion credits, of which three must be Français 10, 11, 12 and at least one other course taught in French during each year of high school. Students are free to select one or more French language courses without taking the complete Immersion program if they can demonstrate sufficient fluency in French and if they meet any other prerequisites of the courses requested. In order to maximize the opportunity for students within the French program to be successful, it is important students and parents/guardians understand that students are required to communicate in French, rarely in English. Students will be required to sign an academic performance contract which states clearly this “French only” requirement. Parents will be asked to initial the contract, acknowledging that they are aware of the requirement to have students speak French in all French courses.
