Schedule change process
Schedules were released on August 24th. Our district is now using an online form for all schedule change requests. Please keep in mind that scheduling is a complex process that impacts many things in our school. Your request will be considered, however we cannot guarantee that it will be approved. Please note our guidelines below before making your online request.
*Schedule Change Requests will be considered for the following reasons:
Academic *Misplacement - Student is placed in the incorrect level
*Course Retake - Student did not pass a previous grad requirement and must be re-enrolled.
*Missing a Class - Student has a gap in their schedule
*Missing Graduation Requirements - Student’s schedule will impact their progress toward graduation
*Missing College Entrance Requirement - Student’s schedule will impact college entrance requirements
*Summer School Coursework - Student’s summer school success impacts fall schedule.
**Dual Credit Course Enrollment - Student's Early College Credit or Start College Now course was approved
*Change to postsecondary Plan - Student’s postsecondary plan has changed and the course will impact those plans.
