SCHEDULE CHANGE PROCEDURE

Schedule Change Form

Schedule changes without parent permission are made for the following reasons:

• Duplicate period errors (ex:  A student had two second period classes).
• You do not meet the prerequisite requirements for the class (ex:  A student is in Spanish II, but has not had Spanish I).
• A senior needs a required credit to graduate.
• Incomplete schedules (ex:  A student has no third period class).
• Inappropriate academic placement (ex:  A student is in Algebra II, but has not had Geometry or Geometry B).
• Data entry errors or master schedule changes made by the student or the Guidance Office.

Procedures for making a schedule change:

• Students have the first five days of a semester to request a schedule change. For second semester 2007:  January 24 through January 30.
• If a student has one of the reasons listed above for making the change, see someone in the Guidance Office immediately.
• If a student has a different reason for requesting a change than the ones listed above, the student must pick up a Schedule Change Request Form, complete it, and return it to the Guidance Office.
• Once a Schedule Change Request Form has been received, the counselor will meet with the student to discuss the potential change and determine if the change can and should be made.

Schedule Change Request Form Information:

• Fill in name, grade, 1st period teacher’s name.
