Schedule/ Teacher Changes

Schedule Changes

Schedule changes are completed on a limited basis and must meet the requirements for a change. Students will be notified at the beginning of each semester when Schedule Change Forms are available in the counseling office. Please note that all schedule change forms require a parent/guardian signature.

Valid Reason for Schedule Changes:

• schedule is incomplete
• duplicate course has been scheduled
• course is scheduled for which the prerequisite course has not been completed
• schedule requires altering due to student’s acceptance into a special program- (alternative school, concurrent, career tech, etc.). Students must bring a copy of documentation verifying enrollment into the special program before changes are made.
• course is scheduled with a teacher with whom the student has previously failed
• Student elects to enroll in a more challenging course

Appeal Process for a Change of Teacher:

1. A conference with parent, student, teacher, and an administrator is required. During this conference, the problem/concern is discussed and a plan should be made by which the student and teacher can solve the problem/concern through mutual effort. The plan must be in effect for a minimum of six weeks.
2. If the parent feels the above plan has not been successful, he or she may write a letter to the principal, describing efforts the student has made to meet the specifications of the plan and why they have not solved the problem.
3. The principal, will determine, based on the letter from the parent and an interview with the student and the teacher, as to whether a problem exists and a change is in the best interest of the student.
