Schedule Change Policy
Why don’t I always get the classes I requested?
Please remember that sometimes a class that was requested may not be available because the course:
- Had low enrollment and is no longer offered
- Is full and no space is available
- Had a prerequisite class that was not taken
- There are conflicts with period availability
A schedule change should NOT be the expected answer for the following reasons:
- Student does not prefer the teacher option
- Teacher is “too hard”
- Class is perceived by the student to be too difficult
- To be in a class with friends
- Parent/Guardian does not prefer the teacher option
- Teacher gives too much homework
- Student is failing the class
- Sibling didn’t prefer the teacher option
- Adjusting your schedule for a lunch preference
- Student would prefer the other team
Procedure of Change:
- In-person teacher meeting with student and parent/guardian to address the concerns. Official form needs to be completed and signed by parent/guardian, teacher, and student.
- Administrator meeting with parent/guardian, student, and teacher to discuss that the changes implemented from the teacher meeting are not working.
- This meeting cannot take place within 2 weeks of Step 1 meeting.
- During this time, students need to be in 95% attendance for that class.
- Admin will determine additional steps that need to be taken or if a schedule change is approved.
- Please bring a copy of the completed form with you to the meeting. Teachers will be notified if schedule change is approved.
