  21. SAVE Committee Process Are you placed correctly? Is the Pre-AP or Pre-AP GT level the correct level for you? Please choose carefully! After April 1st, no changes to course requests will be allowed (including level changes). Students must remain in Pre-AP or Pre-AP GT courses through the end of the 2nd week of school and have the opportunity to request a level change until the end of the 7th week of school. To request a SAVE Committee, you must have: Turned in all assignments. Attended multiple tutorials. Retested when needed. Then, you will fill out a SAVE form in the Counseling Center. A parent/teacher/student conference is required PRIOR to turning in a SAVE form. Turning in a SAVE form is not an automatic level change. Most likely you will have a meeting with your parents, teacher, AP, and counselor to determine correct placement for this subject. April 28th ends the opportunity for a course request change. Only changes pertaining to graduation plans and/or computer errors will be addressed. A student who does not submit a course request change before April 28th will not be eligible for a schedule change.
