¡ Don’t choose classes based upon what your friends are taking or the teacher you think you will get!

¡ We build the master schedule on your requests. Example: If we have 75 people request Health, we would create 3 sections. If in August, 25 people who were planning on taking health online in the summer changed their mind and now needed to f it health into their schedule, we would NOT have the room to accommodate them.

¡ Schedule changes only during the first 5 days!Remember how crazy it is to make a schedule change? Students who consider carefully make less schedule changes at the beginning of the semester!

¡ Consider your honors courses. Administration wil l need to approve any level change (moving from honors to regular classes) once school star ts.

CHOOSE YOUR COURSES CAREFULLY!

My friend shortened their senior schedule! How do I do that?

¡Senior students will need to enroll in a FULL schedule BOTH semesters.§Study hall is not a course option!

¡ In January 2019, students can shorten their schedules with a special permission form.
