Requests for Schedule Changes
Please know that a great deal of effort has gone into creating the best possible class schedule for each and every student. The following guidelines will be strictly followed and are designed to meet the needs of the Mesa View student body as a whole. During the first three weeks of the semester schedule changes will only be made if: A required class is missing from the schedule or a schedule is incomplete or adjustments are needed for special programs or special needs. If one or more of the criteria previously mentioned apply to your schedule then please contact your Mesa View Counselor or the school Registrar.
Level changes (from honors to regular or vice versa) are allowed up until one month into each semester.
Level changes can occur based on space and if there is not a need to change other teachers. If a student changes levels of a course, the grade from the previous course will follow the student to the new course.
Teacher changes are strongly discouraged. We encourage you to try the course with the teacher and get used to the way he or she teaches, before requesting a change.
Multiple steps are required before any changes are considered.
Student and parent need to be in contact with teacher prior to the consideration of any teacher change.
Changing teachers is not always possible. Counselors are not able to overfill classes in order to accommodate a teacher change request.
Changing teachers can impact other areas of a student's schedule, including teachers and periods.
A direct meeting between the teacher, student and parent needs to occur prior to administration consideration of the change.
An administrator has to approve any teacher changes.
