Course Add/Drop
This is just a reminder about the final day to make any schedule changes. District policy states that students wishing to make a course change have until the fourth Friday of the semester to request the change. This year, the last date to make such a request falls on September 7th. Keep in mind that changes can only be made if space permits. Also, we will not grant teacher change requests. Students wishing to make a change will need to complete an Add/Drop form and turn it in to the counseling office by Friday September 7th at 3pm.
