The mission of SDUHSD's counselors is to provide a comprehensive counseling program that addresses the academic, career and personal/social development of all students. We are committed to helping provide a safe and supportive environment in which all students can acquire the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to become life-long learners and responsible, productive individuals.
We follow the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) Model for a comprehensive counseling program.
Add/Drop Window - Spring 2026
Welcome to the start of the spring 2026 semester! If you would like to request a schedule change, you may do so during the add/drop window. The master schedule was built based on students' spring course requests and changes will be very limited at this time.
The following change requests may be prioritized if demand is limited:
Remediation of prior D or F grades, if space is available
Level changes between AP or Honors and college prep, if space is available
Dropping a course for an unscheduled period
Adding a support class (Math Support or Academic Literacy)
Dropping an unscheduled period and adding a course, if space is available
Completion of a pre-approved off-campus summer course that needs to be removed from 2025-2026 schedule
In order to request a change, please complete the 2025-2026 Spring Add/Drop Request Form. This form must be completed using the parent email address on file in Aeries in order to confirm parent consent and will only be open for submission outside the hours of 8:00-4:00 Monday-Friday. During school hours, the Google Form will be turned off for submission so that counselors can process change requests. At the end of the school day, if a schedule change request is denied, an email will be sent to the parent email sharing that the request was denied because the course was full, did not work with the student’s schedule, or did not follow policy. If a schedule change is approved, it will be reflected in the student’s Aeries the following day and the student will receive an invitation to the new Google Classroom within 24 hours.
Please note due to the volume of requests received, counselors will be unable to respond to emails or phone calls regarding schedule change requests at this time. The add/drop window will be open until January 21, 2026, after which students may drop a class with a withdrawal on their transcript and will not be able to add a class in its place.
