We do not change schedules to switch a student’s teacher (Example: Can I have Mr. Bekken for Social Studies instead of Ms. McIntosh?)
We do not change schedules to reorder a student’s classes (Example: I really don’t want PE 1st period, can I have it 6th period instead?)
We do not change schedules to reorder a student’s electives (Example: Can I have Art 1st semester instead of 2nd semester?)
We do not change schedules to change a student’s lunch (Example: Can I switch to 1st lunch because the early batch of chicken burgers taste better than the ones in 2nd lunch?)
