Responsibility for Course Selection It is the responsibility of the student and parent to enroll in the proper courses to insure the student has earned the stated minimum requirements for graduation. School officials will assist you in this effort. Schedules will only be changed to pick up a class needed for graduation, or if a student is

misplaced in a subject as determined by sequences or level. No changes will be made in the same class, track, or level, with the teacher being the only variable. See your counselor or assistant principal for details. Class size will be a consideration when schedule changes are requested. The administration

may make changes to balance class sizes.

Honors and Advanced Education Students who are eligible to participate in the Honors & Advanced Placement Program must have achieved at least two of the following three criteria: —Demonstrated exceptional ability and interest in the given content area through past experiences. —Obtained the prerequisite knowledge and skills to perform in these programs as evidenced by WESTEST scores. —Recommended by the student’s former or present teacher.

Achievement of these criteria must be documented on a Greenbrier County Schools, Honors & Advanced Education Student Program Recommendation Form. Completion of this form is the responsibility of the student and must be given to the counselor before enrollment is possible. Students enrolled in an Advanced Placement course should take the AP Exam for that course. There is a cost for this exam but payments may be made in advance. Students who qualify for free or reduced lunch

will qualify for a fee waiver. AP grades use the same statewide grade scale as all other classes but when grades are transcripted: 93-100 A

All requests and documentation must be made to the school principal. Contact your counselor for specific procedure to follow in making the request.

There is an Attendance Exception Form that must be filled out. All requests for exceptions should be received in the office of the county superintendent of schools by July 1 prior to the upcoming school year. The county board of education shall make the final decision. Fifth year students may carry only the courses needed for graduation and must leave the campus immediately following the completion of those classes each day.

EDGE Program for College Credit Greenbrier East participates in another program that allows students to build a college transcript with classes taken at East. The West Virginia EDGE initiative began in 2001 for students who will be attending a community college in West Virginia. EDGE is an acronym

for Earn a Degree-Graduate Early. The program helps students build a college transcript while still in high school, free of charge. It increases the number of students attending the community colleges in our state and helps a number of students earn an associate degree in as little as one year

past high school. This is a considerable savings in college tuition for students and their parents.

In becoming a STEM model school, Greenbrier East will exemplify how STEM learning is collaborative, project-based, and focused on solving real-world problems

Engineering Design along with their other classes.

This program is built to help students with a pathway to continue their education beyond high school. For questions, regarding EDGE credit, see your counselor

Stem Network School Greenbrier East High School has been chosen to be a STEM Network School. Stem Network Schools is a program of The Education Alliance. It will have a focus in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. STEM Network Schools will receive resources, including a $30,000.00 grant over three years, to become demonstration sites for innovative STEM practices that boost student achievement.

In this first year of the program, the focus will be on the PreEngineering pathway. Freshman students accepted into the program will be required to take Algebra I STEM, Geometry STEM, Earth and Space Science STEM and Introduction to
