appropriate.

Withdrawal During the Last Two Weeks of the Semester
A student who leaves before the close of the school term shall receive grades on the report
card covering the periods in attendance. A student will not meet promotion requirements
unless he/she enrolls in another school to complete the academic year. Students who leave
school during the last two weeks of any semester must show evidence that the withdrawal is
mandatory, and the student must successfully complete any necessary examinations, as
appropriate, in order to receive course credit. Principals are authorized to make arrangements
for the administration of examinations, as appropriate.

Principals may determine that the requirements for early withdrawal are not required when
unusual/extenuating circumstances preclude full compliance by the student. Student
withdrawal must be approved by the school principal designee.
