High School Class Scheduling

Scheduling Changes / Withdrawing from a Course

In the high school, schedule changes that include the exchange of one course for another or changing the level of a course will be considered through August 23, 2024. After this date, withdrawals from yearlong electives can occur during the first 10 days of school and for semester 2 electives during the first 5 days of the semester. Changes to levels of core courses will be considered on a case-by-case basis through the school counseling office.  

Changes to student schedules after August 23, 2024 will only be considered for the following reasons:

• A data or statistical error in the schedule (i.e. two subjects in one period, no lunch, wrong grade level for English, etc.)
• To meet graduation requirements or mandated program requirements when applicable
• If a student failed with a scheduled teacher in the previous year and another teacher is available. Such changes are at the counselor's discretion and only after an extensive review of the circumstances.
• Improper program/level placement (i.e. student is not in the course(s) as indicated on the course selection, student over-placed or under-placed in a course, etc.)

In all cases except clerical or data error, parental permission or parental awareness is necessary in writing before any change can be made.
