  14. Change & Flexibility • Remember that IGPs are tentative plans. People • can and do change ideas and direction. Changes • to an IGP can be made! • Likewise, changes to 9th grade course requests can • be made after the IGP meeting. Be aware of your • child’s high school class change deadline. • Academic course recommendations are made by • current teachers. • This is not a final class schedule. Sometimes high • schools need to make changes to requests.
