Looking to change a course at the semester? 

Requesting a Change:  

Fill out the Course Change Request Form (button below) to request a change. The Course Change Request Form will be published on Tuesday, January 6th.

When requesting a change, please view the Skyline Course Schedule to view courses that are offered in the period you are hoping to request a change. This will help you determine alternate classes to list on the form. The Course Guide is also a helpful resource to read course descriptions, see learning recommendations and course attributes.

Schedule Change Procedures and Timeline

Requests for changes at this time cannot be guaranteed, and the majority of classes are full.  Please reference the course catalog for other guidelines regarding course selection expectations and deadlines.

•Courses dropped the first week of the semester (Jan 27 - Feb 3): You may submit a course change request based upon misplacement in the course without penalty.

•Between February 4th and day 20 of the semester (March 3rd): Courses dropped or changed will remain on the student’s official transcript with a “W” documenting withdrawal from the course. The course will NOT be included in the GPA calculation.  

• Courses dropped after day 20 (starting March 4th) will remain on the student’s official transcript with an “F”. The course WILL BE included in the GPA calculation.

Welcome back, Spartans!! Schedules will be released Monday, August 25th at 4:00 PM. Please review your schedule on Skyward to plan for your first day of school! 

Schedules were created based on your course requests and alternates that you made in March. If you see a class in your schedule that you don’t remember requesting, it is due to a scheduling conflict. Schedule change requests are not guaranteed. We have many full classes this school year and may not have much flexibility with making requests. While changes at this time cannot be guaranteed, counselors will be working diligently on trying to accommodate our students' needs in the order we receive requests.

The priority for changes will be:

• Seniors missing graduation requirements
• Students scheduled in a class they have already completed
• Students enrolled in too many or too few classes
• Students who have a health condition that prevents them from taking a class
• Students misplaced in a sequential course such as math or world language
• Students who have recently been accepted into an audition-only class

Receiving a Schedule Change Update

*NEW THIS YEAR!* - Schedule Change Request Update Dashboard

You now have the opportunity to see your schedule change request happen in real time. Starting this school year, your counselor will NOT email you when your request has been made or looked at. You can see the status of your request in our new Dashboard. 

To ensure our dashboard works properly, counselors will NOT accept any schedule change requests over email and will not be able to respond to emails pertaining to schedule changes. Counselors receive an extremely high volume of emails during this time, so this will help us get to your schedule change request quickly and to make changes in the order we receive them.

Schedule Change Procedures and Timeline

August 25th - September 9th: Beginning August 25th at 4:00pm, this google doc will be open for student's schedule change requests. Counselors will work on all requests in the order in which they are received and see if a change can be made. Students can monitor their schedule change requests by checking the status update dashboard, new this year! 

Please do not submit the same request twice. Students must continue to attend their originally scheduled classes as listed in Skyward until notified by a Counselor their schedule has been changed. Students can check the dashboard or their Skyward accounts to check their schedule change status.

Non-scheduling days: Please note that due to district counts on September 3rd and September 5th, counselors will not be able to make schedule changes on those days as we are locked out of the system.

Canvas Sync Information: Canvas syncs at 12:00pm each day. If a change is made to your schedule after 12:00pm, your Canvas accounts will not line up until the following day at 12:00pm. If you have any trouble with accessing your teacher's site, please reach out to them directly.

September 8th - 25th : Any course dropped during this period will show a "W" on the transcript. Courses dropped or changed will remain on the student’s official transcript with a “W” documenting withdrawal from the course. The course will NOT be included in the GPA calculation. Starting September 9th, any course request changes will need to be reviewed in a conversation with the teacher, parent, student, counselor and administrator which is why the online form will close on September 8th at 4:00pm.

September 26th and beyond: Courses dropped will remain on the student’s official transcript with an “F”. The course WILL BE included in the GPA calculation.

Thank you for helping us make this a great start of the new school year!
