Student Schedules

All students will receive their official, final schedule on the first day of school. If you notice any errors in the schedule—such as two of the same courses, you can request a schedule change. Schedule changes will not be accommodated for reasons such as a change of mind, teacher preference, or wanting to be with friends. Our counselors have worked diligently to place students in the classes they selected on their choice sheets. If a class was full, they enrolled students in the next available option based on the priority indicated. If you have and schedule error, just click here to inform your counselor of the issue and request a schedule change.
