High School Schedules will be provided to ALL STUDENTS on WEDNESDAY evening 8/28 at 6:00 pm. Please bring your parents and siblings to the Back to School Bash and pickup your schedule, set up your locker, walk to your classrooms, and eat some free snacks!

If you are unable to attend, All students in grades 9 -12 will be able to access their schedules on the evening of 9/2 through the parent/guardian and student portal.

Please note that all students will receive a copy of their schedule via the campus portal. If you would like a printed copy make sure to attend the Back to School Bash WEDNESDAY August 28th between 6:00 -8:00 pm.

PLEASE NOTE:

Building a high school schedule is very complex. A lot of careful consideration and variables go into course selection as well as creating a master schedule. While we find student choice very important, especially when it comes to preparing students for their future, the priority is to ensure all students get the courses they need for graduation.

AS A RESULT, the only schedule changes that will be considered are for courses that are true errors please see some examples below:

Situations when a schedule change would be honored:

• A class needed for graduation is missing
• A class a student already took, passed, and earned credit for is on the schedule

Situations when a schedule change would NOT be considered:

• Changed mind about their interests
• Request for a certain teacher
• Request for change in lunch
• Request to be with friends
