It is assumed that the students have discussed their choices with their parents before registering online with PowerSchool.

Information obtained from the preregistration process is critical in determining the staffing needs and in constructing the academic schedule. St. John’s assumes that students and parents have given serious consideration to this matter. Once a student has submitted the registration form, that student is committed to those courses for the coming year. Students are cautioned not to select a course with the expectation of studying with a particular teacher.

Courses described in this course catalog are offered only if there is sufficient student interest to constitute a class. Courses with an insufficient enrollment may not be offered.

Juniors are advised to coordinate their course selections with the requirements of their college choices. Juniors should be sure that the courses they select are challenging and present a true picture of them as students.

Once schedules have been issued, adjustments will be made only in cases where there has been Administrative error or an error by the department in placing a student. Requests for placement in a particular section of a class or for a particular teacher cannot and will not be honored.

Seniors are required to complete at least 6.0 credits in their Senior year. Juniors and Sophomores are required to complete at least 6.5 credits each school year. Freshmen are required to complete 7 credits.

St. John’s operates on a six day rotation cycle. No course can be added or dropped after the first cycle has elapsed.

Elective Courses: Enrollment in some elective courses is limited. Space is made available in these courses on a first come-first serve basis or by seniority for all students who meet the course requirements.
