5. Schedule Change Requests
Before school begins, students may schedule change requests to their counselor.
Schedule changes are also accommodated during the first two weeks of each semester based on course availability.
The first few days of the fall semester, new students, students with incomplete schedules & seniors are given priority.
The 4th day of the semester, any student may submit a schedule change request form. Forms in the counseling office.
Students requesting a change into an elective from a core class or academic elective (i.e. band, world language) must have a parent sign the request form.
The schedule change timeline & process is the same in the spring. However, students may sign up on their counselor ‘s door anytime during the fall to request a spring schedule change.
This is also how students sign up to see their counselor for any other reason.
