Schedule and Schedule Change Guidelines
Guidelines are in place to ensure students are intentional with their course selection and students are in the appropriate courses to start their semester with effective course completion, graduation and skill development in mind.
Responsibilities and Expectations
Students are responsible to review their schedule prior to the start of the semester/year.
Schedule change requests must be made via the links on the GRHS Website and not directly emailing or calling counselors.
Schedule change requests will only be reviewed during the posted timelines.
Schedule changes will be made by the first day of the semester. Changes will be reflected in Campus upon approval.
Some courses such as Band and Choir require year long commitments.
Schedule changes made after the course has begun are subject to a grade penalty up to and including a failing grade.
Students dropping a course prior to the completion date (end of semester for semester-long course, end of year for year-long courses), will earn a “WF”/”F” for the course that was dropped.
