New Pre-AP/AP Guidelines

Petition for Pre-AP/AP Course Exit

become acclimated to the courses and what the Pre-AP/AP curriculum can offer, Georgetown ISD expects that any student who enrolls in a Pre-AP/AP course will remain in the course until the second progress report grading cycle (6th week of school).

 After the 6th week mark, you cannot request a

change until the end of the semester.

Requests for schedule changes will be approved for the following reasons:

counselor and the course verification form. If the course verification form was not returned, this request will be denied.)
