Waiver Information
It is recommended to follow the recommendations made by your teachers. These recommendations are made with the knowledge of the student as well as the requirements of the CHS courses. If a student decides to waive into a higher-level course, a parent must complete a waiver request form for the department the course is assigned to. Department supervisors are available to discuss course levels. Supervisor Contact Information Can Be Found Here.
- A student who waives into a course must remain in that course for the first half of semester 1. The ability to drop to a lower level is dependent upon the availability of open seats. The grade that the student earned in the higher-level course follows the student to the new course.
- Waiver forms must be completed for all courses you are requesting a waiver for. The waiver forms close on March 17 at the end of the school day.
- A second waiver window will open from May 16 - May 20. This is after the master schedule has been built. Waivers will be subject to the availability of open seats during this window.
