Scheduling Procedures

  1. All students are guaranteed enrollment in all required classes, e.g. World Literature. Availability may be limited in elective classes, e.g. Visual Art 2/Drawing.
  2. Incoming freshman students are pre-registered into courses after analysis of their entrance test scores, review of personal requests, and assessment of their junior high school transcripts.
  3. Transfer students are pre-registered into courses after consideration of their personal requests and assessment of their high school transcripts.
  4. Continuing students register in February/March for the following year.  At that time students are placed in classes.  When maximum class enrollment is reached, students are placed in alternate selections. Students receive their list of classes in May.  At that time, continuing students may request a course selection change.  Schedule changes may also be made in August. However, August requests must be based upon a demonstrated academic need.

Schedule Changes

Seniors seeking a schedule change may do so at no cost July 30th and  31st. All other students seeking a schedule change may do so at no cost on August 1st, 2nd and 3rd.  Students desiring a change of schedule should e-mail Mrs. Waterbury.  If an individual does not have access to e-mail, Mrs. Waterbury can be reached at 408-342-4216. Please call only once.  If an individual is unable to reach Mrs. Waterbury, the individual should leave a voice mail message. All phone calls will be answered in the order in which they are received. Please note that second semester changes must also be made at this time.  After August 3, 2007, a fee is charged for all student-initiated schedule changes.

Students making a request to drop a course after school begins must have written parental approval.

Teachers may not add or drop a student from a class roster without approval or notification from the Registrar.  The attendance policy is strictly enforced regarding schedule changes, and a student may never choose to stop attending a class until the proper form has been completed by the Registrar.

Schedule Change Fee

Students will be charged a fee of $25.00 for adding or dropping a class after the August 3rd add/drop deadline unless the change is initiated by the Administration. Second semester changes must be completed prior to the beginning of the second semester. There will be a charge for second semester changes if they are initiated after August 3, 2007.

Supplemental Classes/Credit

Students wishing to take a summer school course or a course at another accredited academic institution may transfer credit to Archbishop Mitty High School. However, credit may not be transferred for courses that are offered during the regular school year at AMHS.  Please consult the “Academics” section for norms governing transfer of credit.

Report Cards

Report cards are posted under the E-info section on the AMHS Website at the conclusion of each semester and each quarter. Grades on the second and fourth report cards are the semester grades and are the basis on which credit for the semester’s work is determined.  Only semester grades appear on the transcripts.  Unofficial Transcripts are also posted on the Website. Transcripts printed from the Website are considered unofficial documents. They are helpful for planning. The first and third quarter report cards are considered formal student progress reports.

Report cards and transcripts may be printed from the Website. They may only be accessed using the parent/student password assigned during September. This password will be mailed home to parents with the dates when report cards will be posted.

Report cards and transcripts are updated whenever a grade has been corrected. The dates of the reports are in the lower left corner of the documents.

Transcript Availability

Current student transcript requests are made in writing in the Counseling and Guidance Office. Graduating seniors are allowed ten (10) free copies of transcripts.  A final or 8th semester transcript will be sent at no charge to the accepting college or university.  Original transcripts are maintained in the Office of the Registrar.  Students may view their transcripts through E-Info on the Website. These may be printed as unofficial copies. The fee for sending additional transcripts is $5.00 per copy that is to be paid at the time the request is made. 

Former student transcript requests are made in writing in the Registrar’s Office. The fee for sending transcripts is $5.00 per copy. Former students should provide their full name and graduation year when making requests for transcripts.

Withdrawal Procedure

The parent of a student who intends to withdraw from AMHS must contact the Assistant to the Associate Principal in the Main Office.  The parent must sign the Release of Student Records form and the parent is asked to participate in an administrative exit interview.
