Announcements

Schedule Change Requests Are Closed. Level Change Requests Are STill Open.

- Students will follow the schedule in Q until a new schedule is approved. Requests will be granted ONLY if space is available in the course you are requesting to level change into (and potentially other classes if the level change requested is not available in the same period).

- First, you need to fill out the "Request Level Change" form HERE. If your request can be fulfilled, your counselor will meet with you to discuss your request and give you a paper form that will need to be signed by the student, parent/guardian, and the teacher. For level changes, your grade at the time of transfer will be reported to the new teacher.
- The completed form will then be returned to your counselor and the schedule change will be made on Q.
- Students will receive a "W" on their transcript after September 18, 2026.
- Students will receive a "WF" on their transcript after October 22, 2026.
