ACADEMICS
Schedules:
Students can access their schedules on StudentVue. Make sure to check your schedule on the first day of school as counselors are still working on changes.
Counselors are working hard on finalizing schedules. Please be aware that the counseling office is getting a high volume of schedule change requests and that your schedule may not be up to date on the first day of school. We ask for your patience as we continue to work diligently to get appropriate requests completed.
Schedules changes can only be made for the following reasons:
The student was misplaced in a class (example: student needs Algebra but was placed in Geometry)
The student is missing a class needed for graduation
The student has already taken the class and does not need to repeat it
All schedule change requests must be submitted by completing the online Schedule Change Form. If you do not have a phone or access to a computer to request a change, please come to the counseling office. The last day to make schedule changes will be September 12th at 4 PM.
