Students at Newton North are required to take an average minimum of 6 courses (out of 7 maximum possible courses), Advisory and WIN each quarter. All students must register for a minimum of 76 credits over the course of an academic year. The 4 credits for Advisory and WIN are included in the 76 credit minimum.
Students Who Leave Newton North For Extended Periods of Time
Students who leave Newton North for extended periods of time (ski school is the operative example) will be required to withdraw and then re-register upon return.
Newton North teachers will not be asked to send work to such students.
Newton North transcripts will not treat coursework from other schools as our own.
Returning Students Who Have Not Yet Graduated
Students who have either not graduated in the four years and one summer that we typically allow, OR have been excluded or expelled from school, and wish to return to Newton North to earn a diploma must create a plan of study that will complete their credits in consultation with the concerned department heads. The student must then speak with the principal about their plan. The principal will have final approval.
