Semester Schedule Changes
At the semester if you want to make a schedule change, you will need to make an appointment to see your counselor. Changes are for academic reasons only and those students who need level changes will be given the first priority. Also, changes can only work if there is room in the class. If you need to change your schedule for ACADEMIC reasons, pick up a schedule change form from your counselor, get it signed by teachers and your parent, and return it to your counselor as soon as possible. The deadline to make changes is Friday, January 24.
