Frequently Asked Questions about
Student Schedules
1. How were my child¹s classes selected?
Classes are assigned to students based on
academic needs, student interest, and teacher availability. Elective classes
are assigned by a lottery, with preference given to 8th grade students.
2. What do I do if my child would like to
change classes?
In order to resolve scheduling conflicts
or concerns in a timely manner, we have established a timeframe for dropping
or adding of classes for Miller students. The schedule change request time
frame is August 10-August 21st.
As we consider schedule change requests,
we will adhere to the Miller Middle School policy as stated in the student
planner. Please note that we do not alter student schedules based on teacher
preference.
Schedules are carefully prepared according
to educational needs and elective requests. No schedule change will be
considered unless there is a sound educational reason. Parent permission is
required before changes are made. (Miller Student Planner).
3. My student and I have reviewed the
Miller policy and we would still like to request a schedule change. How do I
request a schedule change?
Please obtain a schedule change request
slip in the main office or online. These slips will be available beginning on
August 10th. Counselors will not schedule individual meetings to discuss
schedule changes or take email requests for changes.
4. How long until I know if my student’s schedule
will be changed?
Please complete a schedule change request
and the appropriate counselor will contact you regarding the request via email
or telephone. Counselors will need a few days until they can respond to
your request.
5. My child is planning to take the CUSD
Challenge Test. If he/she passes the Challenge Test, do I need to submit
a schedule change request?
Student schedules will reflect the math
course they have been assigned at the end of the 08-09 academic year. If
your child passes the CUSD Challenge Test, your Counselor will alter your
student’s schedule and contact you to pick up the new course schedule.
