Schedule Change Policy
Schedule Change Policy
Schedule changes are made by school counselors. Our goal at Desert Ridge Academy is to provide an academic environment that meets the needs of all students. Students gain much from books and lessons but the educational process includes far more than that; students also gain valuable insight and maturity from interacting with different people and adjusting to a variety of teachers. We expect that our students resolve conflicts in a respectful manner and seek help when needed.
