St. Pius X offers a variety of AP courses for rising sophomores, juniors and seniors, but students in English, Social Studies, Science, and Foreign Language must apply by Dec. 14 and meet qualifications for each course. While qualifications differ from department to department, students are generally expected to achieve high grades in previous department courses, high PSAT scores and students should be willing to commit at least one hour a night to coursework for each AP class. Students not placed in these classes by February 22 may send a written request for a placement reevaluation to the Department Chair. These written requests must be received by March 29. Department chairs will notify parents about AP Placement after spring break. If your freshman will be taking his/her first Social Studies class in the 10th grade, parents with questions about placement should contact
Ms. Kristin Kramer, Social Studies Chairperson.
All upperclassmen register for courses in February and incoming ninth grade students register in April. Preliminary schedules are mailed to students in June with instructions to look for errors or request appropriate changes. Once the school year has started it is not appropriate to change electives or drop a one semester elective course for a study hall or unassigned period.
Students are expected to take any full year course (those labeled Y) for the full year whether the course is required or an elective. It is not acceptable to drop the course at the semester except in extraordinary circumstances.
Once the school year has started it is not acceptable to change electives or drop a one semester elective course for a study hall or unassigned period.
