ELM Schedule Change Policy

Student Schedule Change Policy

Student's class schedules are not changed except to balance class size, correct placement or due to scheduling errors. Most schedule changes will take place during the first ten days of the semester. We are unable to accommodate requests for specific teachers or periods. If you have any concerns that arise during the school year, please contact your child's teacher directly or contact the office to schedule a parent/ teacher conference to address any concerns.

The following are some reasons a schedule may be changed:

• It may become necessary to change academic and elective classes due to changes in student enrollment, master schedule changes, staffing changes, scheduling conflicts, or teacher contractual limits. These changes usually take place the first 10 days of the semester.

• Students may request an elective change during the first 3 weeks of the school year. Elective changes are based on space availability and impact on the student's schedule.

• Student is enrolled in the wrong grade level class. For example, an 8th grade student in a 7th grade class.

• Student is missing a class or period or has two classes in the same period.

• Student would like a placement level change. For example, a student changes from Spanish 1/2 to Spanish Speakers 1/2 or from Math 7 to Compacted Math 7.

• Student has an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) that necessitates a schedule change. Please contact the school psychologist or your student's case manager if you would like to request a schedule change for your child with an IEP.
