Schedules and Schedule Changes
We cannot overemphasize the importance of choosing your classes wisely. Talk with each of your core teachers (math, science, social studies, and english) as well as your elective teachers and ask them what classes you should take next year. Be sure to talk this over carefully with your parents and your counselor.
Creating 8 classes for 2200 students is not easy. We try to accomodate all requests based on students' and parents' desires together with the knowledge of what core classes each student needs to graduate. It is virtually impossible to give each student what he or she wants every time, but we do are best to minimize scheduling conflicts thereby producing the best possible schedule for each student.
STUDENTS: WHEN YOU GET YOUR DRAFT SCHEDULE OVER THE SUMMER...
Look it over carefully. If there is a problem, it is imperative that you come up to school on the appropriate day in early August. The dates and times are included with the schedule mail-out during the summer. For the 2013-2014 school year, the dates are as follows:
Seniors Aug 8, 2013
Juniors Aug 9, 2013
Sophomores Aug 13, 2013
Freshman Aug 16, 2013
At that time, you can meet with you counselor to see if your change request can be accomodated. Changes to schedules will only be made for the following reasons:
- Corrections of clerical errors in course data entry
- Resolution of course conflicts
- Removal of courses for which the student has already earned credit
- Corrections due to missing prerequisites
- Level changes between Pre-AP/Grade-Level or AP/Grade-Level
- For seniors, addition of any courses not already taken which are required for graduation
After these dates, you will be expected to follow the schedule that you are handed in advisory on the first day of school.
STUDENTS: ONCE SCHOOL HAS STARTED.
It is very likely your schedule change will not be possible. Once all of our teachers are scheduled to classes, it will be difficult to find space in those classes for new students. Additionally, changes will only be made for the reasons noted above. ALWAYS CHOOSE YOUR SCHEDULE VERY CAREFULLY!!
Follow the schedule handed to you on the first day of school. If there is a problem, you may sign up between classes to see your counselor. The counselors will work first to fix students' schedules with missing classes (holes in their schedules) and will then proceed to call in other students (in the order in which the students signed up).
Call or email your counselor if you have any questions or concerns.
