Support Classes Schedules may change based on individual academic needs. Elective choices will be replaced by your counselor. Examples of these courses include: READ 180, Support Math

Important Reminders Students are “reserving” spaces in classes and are making a commitment to take those classes. Minimal class changes will be made prior to the start of school to facilitate proper level placement or scheduling errors. Students requesting honors classes are making a full year long commitment to honors level work. If a requested class does not fit in a student schedule, an alternate will be scheduled (please choose alternate classes carefully)
