(circle the appropriate semester)

I am enrolling in the HONORS OPTION for the above course. I understand that I will be expected to complete different and more challenging work than those students who do not register for the honors option.

I also understand that if I change my mind and decide not to complete the honors option, I must make that decision and petition to be released from the honors option by the third Monday of the second quarter of the semester in which this contract applies. Those honors options drop dates are November 28, 2016, for fall semester and April 24, 2017, for spring semester. A Petition to be Released from the Honors Option Contract form requires consultation with and signatures of 1) the course teacher, 2) a parent or guardian, and 3) the Gifted and Talented Specialist.

I understand that if I decide not to continue with the Honors Option but drop it by the deadline my grade will be noted on my transcript as a regular letter grade with no penalty. However, if I do not formally drop the Honors Option by the required deadline I will remain in the Honors section and all honors option requirements (complete or incomplete) will be counted in my final grade.
