Split Schedule with AAPS High Schools
Split Schedule with AAPS High Schools
A Split Schedule means to take classes at multiple Ann Arbor Public School Buildings. Students must take at least one half of their day at Skyline and may take the balance of their schedule through other credit earning opportunities.
Students can split enroll space permitting once scheduling is completed for the students from that home school, about 2 weeks before the start of the semester. Split scheduling is becoming more difficult, however, with budget cuts possibly impacting class openings and transportation. Please do not expect that you will be able to split your schedule. We will do our best within the openings available and often are not able to complete a split schedule until the first week of classes has started.
Because Skyline operates on trimesters, while other AAPS schools go by semesters, students who split enroll will need to do so for the full year.
Let your Counselor know if you are interested as early as possible! We will work with you to register for classes and then rework your Skyline Schedule.
