Schedule Changes

DROP/ADD PERIOD

The complexity of the schedule makes it difficult to accommodate schedule changes. Therefore, students and parents should make careful and thoughtful decisions when choosing all courses, including electives and alternate choices. While every effort is made to schedule all subjects selected by students, limitations of staff, building space, and time occasionally make necessary either the cancellation of undersubscribed course offerings or the substitution of alternate course choices.

A schedule change request is not guaranteed. It is dependent upon space and availability. This could potentially mean that the change cannot happen if a course is already full or the student schedule may have to be rearranged and other classes dropped to accommodate the request.

Please see the Scheduling Timeline section for dates and details pertaining to Drop/Add.

Schedule change requests may only be permitted for the following reasons:

* The correction of a clerical error in the schedule.

* A recommendation from the Child Study Team.

* A student is repeating a course with the same teacher he/she previously had failed a course with.

* A student wishing to eliminate a study hall and take an additional course, which does not entail the dropping of any other courses.

* A student wishing to eliminate an elective to take a study hall.

* A student wishing to switch into a course with a required summer assignment.

* A request to change the level of a scheduled course (see below).

Additional Information:

🔺 All schedule changes must be submitted in writing via the Schedule Change Request Form.

🔺 Students may not have more than one study hall per marking period.

🔺 A student may withdraw from a course and be added into a study hall if they do not already have a study hall in their schedule until 5 days after Marking Period 1 grades are posted.

COURSE AUDIT POLICY

In the event that a student in an AP or Honors course that has no lower level to drop into and already has a study hall in their schedule, he or she may audit the course, but must remain in the course for the remainder of the year. An audit of an AP or Honors class may only be accommodated until 5 days after Marking Period 1 Interim Grades are posted. The student will receive Pass or Fail grade, but will not earn any credit. Students may only audit one course per year.
