GEHRHSD Curriculum Guide 2026-27

Course Changes

We encourage families to plan carefully so changes are not needed in the fall. Course requests may be adjusted only for the following reasons: Course is not offered due to low enrollment Approved course-level appeal Test results suggest placement changes A student fails or does not attend summer school Credit is not earned due to attendance

Dropping Courses

Transcript rules for dropping courses: If a student drops a full-year course before the end of the first trimester: The course will not be listed on transcript and there will be no grade listed. If a student drops a course after the end of the first trimester: The course will be recorded as WP/WF (Withdraw Pass/Withdraw Fail) depending on their grade at the time of the drop. WF counts as a 59 in GPA.

Science Labs & Study Halls

AP science courses include a required lab that meets once per 4 day cycle.

Lab periods typically replace a study hall. If the schedule doesn’t allow this, labs may replace PE or an elective. These PE/elective classes then count for 4 credits instead of 5. Families should note the potential impact on GPA and class rank.

Attendance & Loss of Credit

Attendance policies are explained in the Parent/Student Guidebook, available at www.gehrhsd.net. Students and families are responsible for reviewing this information.
