Senior Schedule Reduction Option
For the last two years, Adams 12 allowed seniors who qualified to reduce their 2nd semester schedule. This was a temporary change in policy given the impact of the pandemic. We are going to provide this same opportunity to seniors for the 2022-23 school year.
This document Senior Schedule Reduction Criteria explains the requirements for seniors requesting a schedule reduction. Please review this carefully as a family. If your senior meets the criteria and would like to apply for a schedule reduction, please complete this form ( Request Form ) by December 13. Counselors will review the request to determine whether or not your student qualifies.
If approved, senior schedule reductions will take place prior to Winter Break for students with C’s or higher at that time in all classes; schedule reductions for other students will take place the first week in January. No schedule reductions will be made after January 9.
If you have any questions, please reach out to your student’s counselor.

Base Camp Fun! (updated)
- One activity for gratitude was for students to write a thank you note to a teacher or staff member and select students were chosen to surprise those teachers with an in-person reading of that note
- We also wrote a thank you note to a person in our lives that we are thankful for which could have been a friend or family member and students are tasked with giving those notes to their chosen individual.
