Schedule Changes• Much attention is given to careful course selection and creating a master schedule

which allows the greatest number of students the best schedule possible. • A drop/add period will be scheduled during the summer before school begins.

• The dates of drop/add will be included with the student course selections mailed home during the summer.

• Changes will ONLY be made for the following reasons: – If a student received a course for which he/she did not register or list as an

alternate– If a student failed a course required for graduation and is not rescheduled for

that course– To balance a students’ academic load.
