Schedule Changes

Schedule changes are available only

under the following conditions. 

 

SCHEDULE CHANGES
Tentative schedules for Fall, 2009 will be mailed to students on July 22. The instructions for changing schedules are printed on the back of the schedule. Please look at your schedule carefully. THE DEADLINE FOR MAKING SCHEDULE CHANGE REQUESTS IS AUGUST 14-NO EXCEPTIONS! 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 instruction can begin.

*****Juniors and Seniors: Please be aware that taking fewer than 7 full classes per semester may have a negative impact on your class rank. Class Rank is determined by both weighted and total credits earned .****

 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.
