In order to provide the best academic opportunities for our students, we are updating our schedule change process for the upcoming school year. Students will still be able to contact their counselors and make schedule changes through the summer. Starting on the first day of school, the following timeline will be used to prioritize access to courses for graduation, balanced class sizes, and instructional best needs. No schedule changes can be guaranteed after the start of the school year. Summer is the best time to request a schedule change through your school counselor.
Phase I - June 22 through August 26
- Hole in schedule
- Wrong course was scheduled
- Missing graduation requirements
- Elective Changes
- Level Changes
- Work Release
- Aiding
- Quarter 4 grade changes
- Summer School AFTER final grade is earned
Phase II – August 29 through September 2
- Hole in schedule
- Wrong course was scheduled
- Missing graduation requirements

Phase III – September 6 through September 16
