*Staffing is predicted and schedules are created based upon student class requests. It is important that all students and parents understand that course selection is important and the necessary time should be given to this process. Schedule changes at the beginning of the school year or throughout the school year will be considered for the following reasons:
*A course needs to be added to fulfill a graduation requirement.
*A course is no longer needed due to credit earned in summer school or testing out.
*A course needs to be retaken due to credit not being earned.
*A student has been placed into a course for which they have not met the pre-requisites.
*A student has too many or too few classes or multiple sections of the same course.
*Changing of schedules will not be permitted because the student has changed their mind – we simply no longer have that flexibility. Requests for teacher changes will not be honored.
*
*Submit your course selections online between
Friday, February 5th –Monday, February 22nd at
Careercruising.com/login/SL
*Turn in your course selection sheets with
parent signatures on February 23rd (MMS) and
February 25th (CMS).
