3. Pass a final unit examination for the 6 six weeks
4. Be clear to withdraw at least two weeks before the withdrawal date

PLAN II
The student may withdraw anytime but must:
1. Enroll in another school district or alternative education center
2. Complete the requirements for the second semester
3. Send an official transcript to the Rio Grande City CISD home campuses immediately
upon completion of course work

If a student qualifies for one of these plans, they will be allowed to withdraw the day before
migrating (the principal may allow the student to withdraw earlier). If the student does
not migrate, he must re-enroll in school to receive credit for the semester. Withdrawing for
the purpose of working locally is not permitted.

A student under 18 may be withdrawn from school only by a parent. The school requests
notice from the parent at least three days in advance so that records and documents may
be prepared. A withdrawal form may be obtained by the parent from the principal’s office.

On the student’s last day, the withdrawal form must be presented to each teacher for
current grade averages and book clearance; to the librarian to assure a clear library record;
to the clinic for health records; to the counselor for the last report card and course
clearance; and finally, to the principal. A copy of the withdrawal form will be given to the
student and a copy placed in the student’s permanent record.

A student who is 18 or older, who is married, or who has been declared by a court to be an
emancipated minor, may withdraw without parental signature.
