Will I be able to change my schedule next year?
Read the Schedule Adjustment Guidelines Choose
your courses wisely. The choices you make now
will determine your 2008-2009 schedule.
Schedule changes will not be made to accommodate
teacher requests, off-campus classes, or
extracurricular and athletic activities.
31
Schedule Adjustment GuidelinesContinued

• Mandatory schedule changes will be made
• for students who completed an approved
• summer school course or for students who
• failed a course.

32
Schedule Adjustment GuidelinesContinued

• Adding/Dropping courses requests will be
• considered during August school business
• days. Courses will be added to replace a
• dropped course if
• they improve integrity of schedule for graduation
  or college eligibility purposes.
• there is space available in an elective class
  during the same period as the dropped course.
• After the first day of school, requests will
  require a
• conference with an administrator. If approved
  the
• student may be required to make up missed work.

33
Schedule Adjustment GuidelinesContinued

• Level Changes (from an honors/AP course
• to a college prep course) will be considered
