We will run two sessions with the first being for Last Names A-LL from 6-7 PM and Lo-Z from 7-8 PM.

Course Change Request Form
Course Change Request Form
This form will be available January 23-30th. While it is available, we highly recommend taking the courses recommended for you by your teachers. Should you feel you still need to use this Course Waiver Form, please click here. Remember that these are requests and are not guaranteed, and if granted, these requests are considered final course selections and cannot be changed after January 30th, 2025.
When should you use the waiver?
If you would like to change a course that a teacher has recommended you for (waive up, waive down, or waive out)
If you would like to take a course through FVA in your 7 period day (see directions below for online courses)
If the course you're looking to add is not available in Parent Portal during the elective selection period (ie: AP Human Geography, IE2, Dual Enrollment etc.)
Online Courses
Online Courses
Online courses will be requested through both the FVA Application Portal and the WFHS Course Change Request form. Please complete the steps below to request a virtual class.
Complete the FVA Application here.
Complete the WFHS Course Change Request form. When indicating the course you want to take virtually, you will "add" FVA and "drop" the in-person course you wish to take virtually (see image below).
Online courses will be FVA unless FVA does not offer the course.
If you wish to take a GAVS course, you must also submit the GAVS parent permission form through Parent Portal and apply on their website. Please also complete this form.
Students taking virtual courses will be required to be off campus for these courses, and your own transportation must be provided. West does not provide supervision for students taking online courses.
Online classes will be placed at the beginning or end of the day whenever possible, and students must provide their own transportation.
January 23-30th is the priority window for all online requests.
Summer Course(s)
If you're completing Health/Personal Fitness over the summer, please complete the course change request form now.
If you're taking a summer course which is a pre-requisite for the next course in the sequence, do not register for the next course in the sequence. We will make that change when you submit passing summer transcripts. Completing a course during the summer DOES NOT guarantee a seat in the next course in sequence.
Application & Audition Courses
Application & Audition Courses
Check this page to see if any courses you are requesting require applications or auditions to have them added to your schedule. Please note that application courses are not available to rising 9th-grade students. If you are requesting a course that requires an audition, please follow the steps for the application/audition to ensure your application is complete. Please reach out to the faculty member listed if you have further questions.
Electives & Alternate Electives
Electives & Alternate Electives
Every student should have the appropriate number of electives to fill their schedule plus TWO alternate electives. Alternates are selected to let the scheduling team know which electives a student wants should they not get their first-choice elective. Please ensure these alternate electives are courses you are interested in and okay to take if you do not get your first choice. Follow these instructions to select electives AND two alternates.
