No phone messages or emails will be accepted for schedule corrections. This is to ensure that all students have their schedules corrected quickly and efficiently.

The process for schedule corrections is as follows:

1. Students may pick up a "Schedule Correction Form" during lunch at the guidance table in the cafeteria between August 14 - August 20.

Just a reminder: The form is for schedule corrections ONLY. Change of mind requests at this late date will not be honored. If you received what you requested or received one of your alternates, you will need to remain in that class. Schedule corrections also will not be honored for period preference, lunch preference, teacher preference, and/or personal opinion of the difficulty of a course.
