Age Exception Information
For those of you submitting age exceptions for next year, forms are due via email Monday May 18th by 2:30pm. Completed forms should be emailed to Heather Uthlaut, ACTS Registrar (actsregistrar@gmail.com).
Please find important information regarding age exceptions below:
ACTS teachers thoughtfully set the intended grade level for their course, and these levels must be respected by all members. Because homeschooling families do not strictly follow grade levels, the minimum and maximum grades for each class are added to each course description. To respect one another, members must realize that granting a class exception frequently prevents a fellow student of the intended grade level from benefiting from the class. Exceptions should be requested very rarely and should be based primarily upon academic rationale and not scheduling convenience.
Students who are advanced, or those who have learning delays/disabilities may be considered appropriate for class exception requests. Please refer to the exception form in the registration packet or a version you can email below. Exception forms must be approved by the teacher via email before turning them in. The Registrar will schedule all exceptions once they’ve been approved by the Officers. Please note: exceptions will not be added until after all current families have scheduled.

Class Registration Exception Request:
I submit this class registration exception request because my child is: ______
1) Exceptionally advanced,
2) Has a learning delay or disability
3) Other
I have described my child’s particular situation below, and respectfully request a class registration exception for the intended grade level for this course be made. I understand the registrar must schedule my child into this course in HORAS and will do so only after approval is granted by the teacher and Officers.
Student’s Name:
Parent’s Email Address:
Student’s Date of Birth:
Age by August 31st (if older than max grade) ____ or Age by November 1st (if under the min grade) _____
Grade level for 2020-2021:
Minimum/maximum grades for the class:
Rationale Supporting the Request:
I understand that registering my child ahead of grade level now may create gaps in their schedule in the future. When course work becomes more difficult and pre-requisites are involved, they may not be ready to move to the next course in the sequence.
I understand that if this exception is granted for the 2020-2021 school year, it does not approve continual exceptions. Exception requests must be submitted each year.
