SAVE Form Fall 2022

What is a SAVE?

• A SAVE is the process for a student to request a move from an Honors or AP class to the regular level of that class.
• A student requesting a SAVE must fill out the SAVE Google Form (see the link above).
• A student cannot request a SAVE for a non-Honors/AP course or for a course that is Honors or AP and does not have a regular level (e.g., AP Chemistry).
• "SAVE" is not an acronym, it is to "SAVE" a student's schedule and determine if a student is utilizing all their support systems for success. Thus, being able to remain IN an Honors or AP class. 

How does a student request a SAVE?

• A student may request a SAVE between Friday, Sept. 23rd and Friday, Sept. 30th.
• The student must completely fill out a SAVE Form and turn it in by the deadline of Friday, Sept 30th at 4:00 pm. NO EXCEPTIONS
• The student, parent, and teacher must fill out the SAVE form (digitally sent to each party).
• It is the student's responsibility to initiate the SAVE process. 

What determines if a student is moved to the regular level?

• A student MUST have turned in all assignments.
• A student MUST have attended tutorials (at least one a week)
• A student MUST have retested when needed
• The SAVE committee will review each situation - sometimes students have overloaded themselves and need to be moved to the regular level of one class. In this situation, the counselor will discuss the situation with the student. 
• The student/parent must make contact with the teacher and the teacher must fill out the digital SAVE form for teacher feedback.

Remember, the goal is to keep appropriately placed students in the Honors or AP course. We want to find a good balance of  not under-educating students while at the same time not overwhelming them.
