Please refer to this policy regarding schedule changes I. As a general rule schedules will not be changed unless there is a strong educational reason for the change. Educational reasons include but are not limited to: Low grades and the need to receive tutorial assitance in study hall, moving up or down in a math level, and moving from regular education to special education or vice versa. II. Students must have written permission from the principal or counselor, teachers, and parents prior to having the schedule changed III. Students may not request schedule changes after September 15th, or after the third week of the second semester for second semester classes. No electives may be dropped after this time period unless for a strong educational reason as determined by the principal and counselor. IV. If parents feel there is a strong educational reason to drop band, chorus, or other electives after the drop period has expired they must confer with the course instructor prior to requesting a change. The instructor must sign the written request. V. Drop forms are available in the guidance office and must be completed prior to the class being dropped. Schedule changes will only be processed after all signatures have been obtained and the change form has been returned to the guidance office. VI. The administration and staff reserve the right to make schedule changes at any time. PLEASE NOTE: Dropping or adding a class may result in the complete rearrangement of the current schedule. Pleas allow 2-3 school days for schedule change processing. Students should continue to follow their old schedule until notified that the change has been made.
