Stevensville School District

STUDENTS

Part-Time Attendance

The District will review requests for part-time enrollment of students for purposes of academic courses on a case-by-case basis, with a building principal making a preliminary decision pursuant to the criteria set forth in this policy. Denial of part-time enrollment may be appealed pursuant to policy 1700.

Criteria for accepting students for part-time enrollment are the following:

1. Accepting a student will not create excess student enrollment in a requested class;
2. Accepting a student will not create need for an additional staff member;
3. Accepting a student will not cause a new section of a course to be created.

The District will accept on a first-come, first served basis students wishing to enroll in the same course. Whenever the enrollment position of a part-time student is needed for a regular, full-time student during the year, a full-time student has priority for the position beginning with the next semester.
