  • See the form below.

GUIDELINES FOR SCHEDULE ADJUSTMENTS

The staff at Cedar Falls High School believes all students can learn and need to be in challenging and rigorous classes. Students are responsible for determining and accepting the classes for which they registered last spring. They must plan very deliberately, always keeping in mind high school requirements, post-high school plans, and individual interests.


Schedule adjustments at this point will be made for academic reasons only. Parent permission will also be required but does not guarantee a schedule adjustment.


Adjustments are limited and will be based only on the following reasons:

1. Teacher recommendation and/or request because of inappropriate placement.

2. Failure in a previously required class.

3. Credits needed for graduation.

4. Failure in class that is a prerequisite or not having the prerequisite scheduled.

5. Computer error.

6. Schedule that does not have enough classes scheduled.

7. New students to the district.

8. PSEOA students.


Adjustments will NOT be made for the following reasons:

1. Students wanting to gain release during certain periods.

2. Teacher changes.

3. If classes are full-including PE.

4. To accommodate job schedules.



Timeline for schedule adjustments:

  1. Schedule adjustments will be made on Monday, August 15th. Seniors are welcome to come from 8:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Juniors and Sophomores are welcome from 12:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.

  2. Please be prepared to wait.

  3. If students are unable to attend on August 15th, changes may still be made during the first three days of school.

  4. The 2022-23 Before School Schedule Adjustment Request Sheet must be filled out with a parent's signature. Please see the attachment above.

  5. Changes for the 2nd semester can be made after school begins unless it affects first-semester classes. Second-semester adjustments must be made by December 22nd.


Requests for reasons other than those listed above are limited to extenuating circumstances and must have administrative approval.

GUIDELINES FOR DROPPING A CLASS AFTER SCHOOL STARTS

Any student, who makes a request to drop a course AFTER school begins, must complete paperwork with the teacher, school counselor, and parent/guardian signature. Students are required to carry a minimum of six classes plus PE. Students may drop a class until the 7th week of the semester without a penalty if they still have six classes on their schedule. After the 7th week of the semester, a student dropping a course will receive a grade of “F” for the semester.

The deadline for dropping an extra class:

1st semester- October 12th

2nd semester-March 9th
