Schedule changes

Students who have changed their mind about a course they previously selected for the 2019-2020 school year may meet with their counselor May 23-June 5 to request a change. Changes will be made on a space available basis ONLY. This does not include moving to a higher level course, as this requires approval from the appropriate Department Chair. Please see your counselor if you would like to see if a change is possible. Students who start a class in the fall will be required to stay in the class for 5 school days. After 5 school days, students may request to drop to a study hall only if they are enrolled in the maximum number of courses (seven) per semester. Students who start the school year with a study hall may add a course within the first 5 days of school provided a course is available. Students will not be able to drop a course and pick up a different course once the school year has started.

This feature will be enabled during Graduation Week and will be available until Friday, June 28, 2019.
