It’s January 30, and Franklin D. Roosevelt was born on this date in 1882.  FDR, as he was known, was the 32nd President of the United States and was elected to four terms in office even though he served just more than three terms due to his death in office early in his fourth term.  We encourage you to learn more about President Roosevelt by visiting his library and museum in Hyde Park, New York or by visiting his memorial in Washington, D.C.  In the years that followed FDR’s presidency, the 22nd Amendment was added to the United States Constitution, and this amendment set a two-term limit for presidents.  Just as presidents have term limits, American School students have term limits too.  When students enroll in our accredited middle school program or accredited high school program or enroll in individual homeschool courses for credit recovery or enrichment, they receive dates by which their courses must be completed.  The limits are 12 months from the enrollment date for a full-unit course and 6 months from the enrollment date for a semester course.  Our full-unit courses are designed to be completed within 9 months, but we give students 3 additional months as a built-in extension.  Similarly, our half-unit courses are designed to be completed within 4 or 5 months, but we give students 1 or 2 additional months as a built-in extension.  Our term limits should be more than enough time for students to complete their courses even if they experience delays due to health or other reasons.  Thank you for your understanding and for completing your courses on time without needing extensions.  We appreciate the opportunity to serve you and invite you to check back here on Wednesday for our next blog post.
