2023/24 Scheduling Update
- Students can view their course requests for the 2023/24 school year in the StudentVue app.
- The Curriculum Office has been building the master schedule of classes for the 2023/24 school year and are working through course conflicts with student schedules.
- If you see what you feel is an error in your course requests, you may email the Curriculum Office staff: leigh.wach@gcpsk12.org & luann.poteete@gcpsk12.org
- Registration materials will be reviewed to determine if an error exists. Please understand that some requests for change in placement/level were denied due to students currently not performing in the A range in the current subject area class.
- Student classes may have also changed since registration due to class schedule conflicts. Course registration sheets and alternates were used in making these changes.
- As a reminder, students were able to request changes to their schedules during the registration process in February. Students may no longer request changes to courses in their schedules as we built the master schedule of courses based on what students registered for in February.
- If a student plans to take a course over the summer that is currently in the student’s course requests, please complete the Summer School Intent form using the link or QR code below so that the Curriculum Office will know what course you desire after they have received final grades for summer classes. Please understand that requested classes may or may not be available due to space.
Summer School Intent Form & Schedule Adjustment Due to Summer Courses: https://forms.office.com/r/pDNbrhXU5Q
- The Curriculum office will send an email in May for students to complete a form if they will be taking summer classes.
