How do I schedule a Teaching Assistant? Does this count as one of my 5 or 6 credits?
The first step to set up a Teaching Assistant position is to find a teacher willing to supervise you. TA positions are created at the beginning of each semester by students submitting the TA application (you must select a teacher before you are able to submit the TA application).

A Teaching Assistant position is considered "service to our school" and therefore is not considered an academic class. Students must adhere to the academic attendance policy that requires students in grades 10-11 to have 6 academic classes (grade 12 must have 5). TA Application and Information

Should I consider taking an AP classes? 
There is no limit to the number of AP classes a student can take nor is there a specific approval process. Taking AP classes is considered a personal choice.  However it is crucial that students consider AP classes that are of a personal interest or a subject area of advanced skill. Daily attendance is essential in any AP class! Consider any medical challenges that may interfere with feeling successful in a college level course. AP classes are demanding of student's time and overall mindset. Please consult with your teachers and parents on what is best for you. Disclaimer: Selecting an AP class is a choice that can only be changed prior to the start of the school year. Students selecting an AP class must abide by the established drop policy. 

What is the drop policy after the class begins?
Students may drop a class if eligible up to the 20th day of school. The purpose of the "drop period" is to provide students with a penalty-free withdrawal from a course. The drop process only provides students the opportunity to drop a class; however, there is no option to add any North classes after the 5th day of school. Students may not exchange an AP class in any subject area for a non-AP class in the same area during the drop week. Students may investigate class options provided through eSchool. Drop Request
