Schedule Changes
Please read carefully prior to requesting changes:
Please do not email your counselor about your schedule change. Counselors will be responding to schedule changes submitted through the below-linked forms.
Students with Errors on the schedule may stop by the counseling office on the first day of school to follow up on their schedule if it is not yet fixed.
Course change requests can ONLY be submitted by STUDENTS through their STUDENT RAFOS Google accounts.
On Schedule Pick Up Day
Review your schedule carefully.
If you notice an Error on your schedule, (incorrect placements, missing periods, duplicate courses, changes due to course completed over the summer)
Scroll down to the ERRORS ONLY Link on this page. Click on the link, fill out the form,
Get in line to speak with your grade level counselor.
Schedule changes based on preferences will not be considered until after schedule pick-up day, and until after error changes have been completed.
We want to fix all errors on-site during the scheduled time.
After Schedule Pick Up Day
Check your email for counselor questions about your request.
Adjusted schedules will be reflected in PowerSchool.
If you are requesting a change due to completed summer courses, make sure your summer course transcript has been sent to both your grade level counselor AND Ms. Repetti at crepetti@rocklinacademy.org and notify your counselor.
If you are changing classes after the first day of school, you are responsible for making up any missed work after your schedule change for your new class. You must also ask your teacher to add you to their Google classroom.
You may come by the counseling office to check on your request if you have not heard back from your counselor after two full business days from submitting your request. Please do not email your counselor as they will not be able to keep up with the volume of emails.
Changes made after the first three weeks of the semester may result in an NC for the semester. See the Course Change Policy in the Western Sierra Student and Parent Handbook for changes after the deadline.

Preference changes are not guaranteed. Students were prompted to read all course descriptions, weigh workload, discuss options with parents, and choose courses carefully in the Spring prior to selecting courses.
Changes due to preferences will not be reversed or changed again. When in doubt, try going to your classes before submitting your course change request. Often students like the class they got more than they think they will
Course changes will NOT be made based on friend requests or teacher preference, time of day, Odd/Even schedule, etc.

Adding and Dropping Classes:
Student requests are at the very core of the Western Sierra Master Schedule. Because of this, students need to choose their classes very carefully. Students are making a semester or year-long commitment when they sign up for their classes. Once the Master Schedule has been built, and resources are committed to fulfilling student requests, students must seek counselor approval to change a class.
Schedule corrections may be made for the following reasons only:
enrolled in a class a student has previously completed
enrolled in a class a student is not eligible to take, courses or periods duplicated, and course prerequisites met or not met. Students who drop a class after three (3) weeks in a semester may receive a NC for that class.
