Student Schedule and Off Period Information
Schedules
- We cannot overemphasize the importance of choosing your classes wisely. Talk with each of your core teachers (math, science, social studies, and english) as well as your elective teachers and ask them what classes you should take next year. Be sure to talk this over carefully with your parents and your counselor.
- Creating 8 classes for approximately 2000 students is not easy. We try to accommodate all requests based on students' and parents' desires together with the knowledge of what core classes each student needs to graduate. It is virtually impossible to give each student what he or she wants every time, but we do are best to minimize scheduling conflicts thereby producing the best possible schedule for each student.
- Look it over carefully. If there is a problem, email or schedule an appointment to see your counselor.
- Changes to schedules will only be made for the following reasons:
- Corrections of clerical errors in course data entry
- Resolution of course conflicts
- Removal of courses for which the student has already earned credit
- Corrections due to missing prerequisites
- Level changes between Pre-AP/Grade-Level or AP/Grade-Level
- For seniors, addition of any courses not already taken which are required for graduation
