Students and parents make course selections in the spring. The master schedule is determined and driven by student choice tally. As a result, any mid-year changes to the schedule are strongly discouraged and must be approved by an administrator. Students are encouraged to choose courses carefully as course changes are difficult, disruptive or impossible to accommodate. The only acceptable reasons for requesting a course change are: not meeting a course requirement, course duplication, or not meeting graduation or post secondary requirements. Teacher preferences or change of direction regarding choice of courses are not considered acceptable criteria to request schedule changes.
