Mission Statement

Schedule Change Request Process

Students can request schedule changes before a trimester begins or within the first 10 school days of each trimester.

2025-26 add/drop deadlines:

Trimester 1 - 8/26/25   Trimester 2 - 12/1/25   Trimester 3 - 3/13/26
Students must complete a Schedule Change Request Form and return it to counseling. 

Students can view their trimester schedule the evening before the trimester opens. Please follow the guidelines below if the student has a concern with their schedule:

• Open or double period on your schedule: See your counselor the first day of school during that period.
• Placed in the wrong class level: Complete and turn in a schedule change form. Go to all classes on your schedule. Your counselor will work on it as quickly as possible and get in touch with you as soon as it is resolved.
• Requests to change an elective class: Beginning the 3rd day of each trimester you may drop off a completed schedule change request in the box in the front office. Due to scheduling conflicts and available space, students do not always get their requested elective. Counselors will do their best to accommodate your request and will contact you as soon as a decision has been made.

Examples of acceptable changes:

1. Level change: e.g. you have Spanish 1-2 on your schedule, but you need to be in Spanish 3-4.
2. Open Period: less than five classes in one trimester.
3. Incorrect class: incorrect class, e.g. you requested Mandarin but received Spanish.

Examples of unacceptable changes:

1. We cannot accept requests for a specific teacher, trimester, or period.
2. Required grade level courses will not be dropped.
3. AP courses cannot be dropped.
