Schedule Changes

Students who need a schedule change will need to fill out a schedule change form and leave in the box outside the counseling office. Parents can pick up a form from the counseling office area or the main office. Unfortunately, the student will need to follow the schedule they have the first week of school. All schedule changes will be made the first week and once the process is completed the student will be given their updated schedule.
