FALL SCHEDULE ADJUSTMENT PROCESS

Students receive final schedules the week before school begins
Follow schedule for first 2 days of school

If students have “See Counselor,” they are missing a period, or have two classes scheduled at the same time, they need to come to the Counseling Center to select a class

At end of second day, students may pick up or download a Schedule Adjustment Request form and follow the directions on the form
If necessary, counselors will balance classes at beginning of the second week of the semester
