Schedule Change Form - can be printed out and turned into counseling center.

Fall '09 Schedule & Changes
- Fall, 2009 tentative schedules will be mailed to students July 22.
- THE DEADLINE FOR SCHEDULE CHANGE REQUESTS IS AUG. 14
  • Please look at your schedule carefully. The instructions for changing schedules are printed on the back of the schedule. Because of new restrictions in building schedules, fewer schedule changes will be possible than in the past. Our priority is to provide each student with a schedule that will help him/her meet graduation and college admissions requirements AND get students into the correct classes ASAP so serious learning can begin.
  • You have 3 opportunities to change your schedule:
    • 1) Submit the form on the back of your schedule to the Counseling Office between August 1 and August 14, 2009
    • 2) Attend the schedule change sessions assigned to your grade:
      • Grade 12 August 5 8:00-11:00 and 12:00-3:00
      • Grades 10-11 August 6 8:00-11;00 and 12:00-3:00
      • Grade 9 August 7 8:00-11:00
        • Please note that lines are long and there is often a wait on schedule change days. Please plan accordingly.
    • 3) Send an email message to your counselor requesting a change by Aug. 14, 2009.

    • 4. You are missing a class for one or more periods (there is no class scheduled for one or more periods during the day).
    • 5. You are missing a prerequisite for a class for which you are scheduled (for example, you are scheduled for Advanced Computer Applications but you haven’t passed Computer Applications).
    • NOTE: Requests to change teachers will not be made.
