Schedule Review
For the 2024-2025 school year, schedule change requests were made using an online form between 8/7-8/14. A second opportunity for T2 and T3 changes will be Monday, November 11th to Friday, November 15th prior to the end of the first trimester. At this point we are only changing schedules for emergencies such as not having enough credits for graduation.
Schedules will NOT be changed for the following reasons:
Rearrange classes within their schedules
Request teacher or class period changes
Change electives that were selected during the registration process
Request a study hall or condensed day during a specific period
Course changes will be approved on a space in class available basis for limited reasons:
A failed prerequisite course (including senior credit needed for graduation)
Change in IEP or 504 Plan
Health Plan
PSEO
Families of students with IEPs should contact their case manager with questions regarding schedule change requests.
