Valid Reasons for Schedule Changes
1. Scheduling error – The counselors will make these changes as soon as possible at the beginning of the school year.
2. Resolution of insufficient credits for graduation – The counselors will make these changes as soon as possible during the summer or at the beginning of the school year.
3. In the case of English, Math, Science, Social Studies, and World Language courses, the following guidelines will apply:
a. If the student is not meeting success at the level of understanding that the course requires, the counselor will make the change only after:
1. A student meets with a counselor to obtain a Course Change Request Form. 2. The student is then responsible to gather information using the guidelines provided on this form for the class change procedure.
b. This information includes:
1. A written request and reason for the class change from the student and written approval from a guardian.
2. Written notification from the teacher documenting the student’s efforts to pass the course (these efforts must include homework completion, test retakes, and after-school tutoring), as well as the teacher’s recommendation for the change.
3. Written approval for the change from the principal or grade level principal will be the final requirement above all other requirements.
In order to preserve the continuity of the student’s education, multiple schedule change requests
will not be granted.
Electives can be added only if they meet during the same period as the elective
to be dropped.
Requests for teacher switches, period switches, and/or lunch period switches will not be granted.
