Important Updates

Seniors: If you are applying to a college with Early Action or Early Decision deadline  - please review the college's and LMHS' procedures well in advance of the deadline. 

Failure to follow the procedures in a timely manner means that the counseling department cannot guarantee that your paperwork will be processed in time to meet your deadlines.  The counselors need time to process the paperwork that they submit on your behalf.

Scheduling Notes

Every effort is made to schedule all required and requested courses through the master scheduling process. However, due to the many factors involved, not all requests can be accommodated.

Appropriate Reasons to Request a Schedule Change During Drop/Add:

• Missing a required core academic or major course

• Missing an assigned lunch period

• Missing a graduation requirement

• Swapping one elective for another without affecting the rest of the schedule

Requests That Will Not Be Considered During Drop/Add:

• Teacher changes

• Different lunch periods or study halls

• Sports / Extra-Curricular related scheduling preferences

• Level changes

Important Information:

Level Changes

• Only teachers can recommend level changes. If you disagree with a placement, discuss it with the recommending teacher. School counselors cannot change course levels without teacher approval.

AP Courses

• AP course requests are final after the March scheduling deadline. Because the master schedule is built around AP enrollment, AP courses cannot be dropped or exchanged once schedules are finalized. The only exception is a scheduling conflict with your selected courses; if this occurs, you will be contacted over the summer to discuss options.

Elective Requests

• Electives are scheduled after required courses and graduation requirements. While we strive to honor all requests, availability may be limited. If you do not receive a requested elective, contact your school counselor. Additional elective options may be available during the first week of school.

Credit Requirements

• Each grade level has minimum credit requirements. Please review the Program of Studies for details.

Graduation Requirements

• If a required graduation course is missing from your schedule, notify your school counselor as soon as possible. This is especially important for seniors.
