Schedule Information

Students will read and understand course descriptions and requirements before enrolling in a course.

Enroll in courses you are interested in. Student interest is an important factor in determining the number of sections offered for each course. We do not run courses that do not have enough students registered; not signing up for a course of interest may prevent the course from being offered.

Work with your parents/guardians, Bluejay Connect teacher, and/or counselor to make sure you are taking the appropriate classes and are on track for graduation.

Students are required to get a registration form signed by a parent/guardian and will register themselves online during the designated time at school.

Students are required to sign up for three alternate classes they would be willing to take in case their required/elective courses do not fit in their schedule.

Students will put together a 4 year plan in their Freshman Seminar course.

All students must maintain a minimum of 6 credits a trimester, or 18 a year. They may take a maximum of 7 credits a trimester, or 21 a year.

A final trimester grade of an “F” for any course will result in a loss of credit for that course. Any student who fails a required course will be encouraged to make up the deficiency in credit recovery (night school or summer school) or by putting it back into their course load at the high school.

School counselors will send a letter explaining any credit deficiencies at the end of every trimester.

All incomplete grades must be made up within 10 days of the end of the trimester.

All credits required for graduation are subject to change by the Board of Education.

All schedule changes need to be done within the first three days of each trimester.

All schedule changes will be considered individually based on course availability, open seats, credit requirements, and reason for request. Teacher and hour changes are generally not accepted unless approved by a principal.

Students who drop year-long classes after the first trimester need to turn in a drop form signed by the teacher and a parent/guardian.

Students who drop a class in the middle of a trimester without an approved reason will receive an F on their transcript for that class.

Students in Special Education should go through their case manager with any schedule change requests.
