NB DROP/ADDWhen making course selections for the upcoming school year, it is important to
consider all of the options and to select the appropriate 8 credits. As you choose the core and elective courses you hope to take as well as your alternates, please keep in
mind the following:
It is our expectation that you plan to remain enrolled in the courses you select for the 2014-2015 school year.
It is our expectation that you are willing to enroll in the three alternate courses you have selected in the event that you cannot get your first choice(s).
The 2015-2016 Drop-Add Period will close on Friday, September 4th, 2015. You will not be able to drop a course or change to another course after this date. If you have any concerns about rigor or workload, you must address by this date.
During the Drop-Add Period, the only requests that are guaranteed are course level changes.
For example, Student Services will honor your request to drop English III and add Honors English III but may not be able to honor your request to drop AP Biology and add Anatomy.
During the Drop-Add Period, elective requests will be considered if the desired course(s) is not full. Most of our electives, however, are full, so please make sure you select the elective courses you wish to take and are happy to take your alternates as well
NBCOMMUNITY
SERVICEThe Community Service Program is designed to teach
citizenship skills and the value of serving others. Service is a value firmly positioned in the mission of Broughton
High School. It is also a required component of the International Baccalaureate Program.
All Broughton students are required to complete 25 approved Community Service hours each year enrolled at the school in order to graduate.
Even if a Freshman records 100 hours his/her first year, they are still required to perform 25 hours for each of the following years.
