ATTENTION:  ALL STUDENTS TAKING HONORS CLASSES

Please be aware of the fact that if an Honors Class requires summer work, it must be completed on time or Mrs. Bedwell will be informed and you will be dropped from the class.  NO EXCUSES!

On rare occasions, Mrs. Bedwell is unable to accommodate a class change request because of the way our master board is arranged.  It could possibly be, then, that switching from an Honors Class to a regular class is impossible.  In that case, there are three scenarios:

1. You would not receive that class at all and have to make another choice.
2. In the case of American History Honors/Regular, you would have to think about summer school.  This is a required class for graduation.
3. You would start the Honors Class with a deficit average.

If you have any questions, please speak to the teacher of your Honors Class.
