Schedule release dates and schedule change procedures
Updated August 21, 2019
Schedule changes will only be made in person, not via e-mail (so please do not e-mail staff members requesting schedule changes. We will direct you back to this document.)
Counselors are not available to meet with students/parents during the week of Aug. 19th due mandatory staff meetings, and professional development, so no schedule changes will be made this week besides the hours set aside for Seniors on August 23rd.
We understand that holes in schedules & waiting a few days for changes can lead to stress for students and their families. The following process is the best way to accommodate the large number of students we have. If you have a hole in your schedule, it is because a class you requested does not fit. Rather than put in a class you did not choose, we keep it open for you to come look the first day of school to see your options. We also do our best to even out core classes over the two semesters. If you see you have one semester with more core classes, it is because it would not fit any other way. If you don’t see a class on your fall schedule it is most likely on your spring schedule.
Lastly, this is just one more reminder that no schedule changes will be made via e-mail before school starts so please do not email counselors requesting schedule changes. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we are working diligently to ensure that our students get set up as best as possible with their 19-20 high school schedules.
Seniors: (Meetings to be held in the cafeteria)
Friday (Aug. 23rd) 8:30-12:00 (Students with last name A-Z)
*Students will sign in and will be called in order (if there are too many students they will be asked to come back the first week of school as each counselor will stop changes at 12:00). Counselors will see as many students as we can in this timeframe.
*Senior early release forms will be available online and/or at the school. If you're a student interested in an early release as a senior, please review the form and bring it with you to your meeting with a counselor and we can determine if you are eligible or not.

Remember that schedules being sent home are only of 1st semester classes and that the majority of our classes are semester long classes. However, we still have some year-long classes, so look at the schedules carefully as classes that are yearlong will not show on this initial mailing if they are on A day or B day. Classes are printed in order, so if a student has two classes during 2nd block the first one is on A day and the second one is on B day.
*NEW CLASSES ADDED THIS YEAR: Hon Creative Writing, Hon Astronomy, Intro to Culinary Arts, Mandarin 1 & 2, Team Sports, Individual Fitness. Ask your counselor during schedule changes if you are interested in these courses.
