Scheduling Timeline Freshmen February 3-6 English Class
Developing a Master Schedule • Building and planning the master schedule for the following school year is a difficult and complex task. Situations may occur requiring a change to that schedule, however these alterations have a serious effect on class size, teacher assignments, and the overall schedule, therefore these changes are made sparingly. The student and parent are strongly encouraged NOT to plan a course load with the idea that it can be adjusted at a later time.
New Schedule Change Policy • A schedule change may occur within the first five (5) days of a semester. One of the following criteria must be met to have a schedule change.
New Schedule Change Policy • 1. Student schedule does not include the minimum number of required six classes each semester • 2. Adjustments due to the successful completion of summer coursework or summer school • 3. Error in a student’s schedule due to academic misplacement • 4.
