Schedule Changes

Student schedule change forms will be issued by your first period teachers on the first day of school. The scheduled change forms will be printed on green paper, and will also be available in the counselors’ office. Student schedule changes will start to be processed by the counselors on the third day of school. Schedule changes will take approximately 10 days to complete. Students have 10 days to submit a schedule change request. Students please continue to go to your scheduled class until you are brought a new schedule. If you do not continue to go to your scheduled class you will be counted absent and that absence will transfer to your new scheduled classes. Students please remember that not all schedule changes will be processed.

Students cannot request a schedule change for the following reasons:
