Frequently Asked Questions

waive final exams?

Upperclassmen (juniors and seniors) can waive a second half of a course final exam or project if they have an A- in the class. Teachers will verify grades to approve waivers. One trimester courses cannot be waived. In the 3rd trimester, a senior student can waive a final for any course if they meet the A- expectation.

request a transcript?

Please fill out a request on Parchment via your personal registration code on parchment.com.
If you do not have access to Parchment, please fill out a transcript on this Google Form.

register for classes?

Students will meet with their Academic Counselor each year to discuss course selections for the upcoming year. Counselors host annual advisory assemblies to review the course selection process with each grade level. All students will enter their course selections in FACTS to list academic preferences prior to their individualized advising appointment. Once course selections are confirmed, parents and guardians will receive a confirmation of the student’s course selections via email. Families can make changes on the initial course selection sheet until a specified date.

request a course change?

To initiate a schedule change, students should meet with their Counselor no later than 5 days before the start of the semester. Schedule changes can occur only under specific circumstances. Please see the Curriculum Guide for more information.

what courses I can register for?

Check out the PND Curriculum Guide here. Students will receive course selection updates and reminders each year from their Counselor prior to individual registration meetings. Course selection guidance is also included on the course selection form in FACTS.
