Change of Class Schedule
The schedule of classes offered to your student is based on student requests made during the registration process of the previous school year; therefore, it is imperative for each student to determine those requests carefully each year. Once the student’s daily class schedule has been established for the year, that class schedule may be changed ONLY under the following circumstances:
Completion of a class by online or summer school
Failure of a prerequisite course
Changes necessary because of health reasons
Changes necessary to satisfy graduation requirements
Administrative changes such as course conflicts, unbalanced class enrollments or student misplacement
* It is possible that some schedules may be changed after the first day of school due to placement testing for reading, math and international language (Spanish) classes.
