ALL requests for schedule changes MUST be submitted through this form: Schedule Change Request Form


Please read all directions on the Schedule Change Request form carefully.


Schedule change requests will ONLY be reviewed for one of the following reasons:

• Failed a course needed for graduation

• Incomplete schedule – to fill a “hole” in the schedule

• Missing a core course required for graduation

• Missing a required prerequisite to take a course

• To increase rigor or address inappropriate level placement

• Previously failed with a scheduled teacher

• Schedule is unbalanced

• To request Senior Early Release 


REQUESTS FOR ELECTIVE CHANGES WILL NOT BE GRANTED (unless it reflects an increase in rigor or a prerequisite is missing.) 


DUE TO CLASSES BEING FULL AND SCHEDULING CONFLICTS, CHANGES ARE NOT ALWAYS POSSIBLE. Students should monitor PowerSchool and their WCPSS Student email accounts for a response to the request. Please allow 7-10 days for requests to be reviewed. 


The deadline to submit a schedule change request is January 30, 2025. 

Students enrolled in a Fall Semester AP class are automatically registered to take the AP in May when  they complete the Join process for their teacher's online AP Classroom.  If a student is registered for an exam and does not show up to take the exam in May, they will be charged a $40 unused exam fee by CollegeBoard. 


Any student who does not want to take the AP exam needs to submit the Cancellation Form by November 14th.   



Countdown to College Week Participating Schools 24.pdf
