Students with incorrect schedules will need to email their counselor directly. Please note, during this time, counselors can only change schedules for the following reasons. Counselors will review the emails and respond.

• A course was already completed or a student already has credit for the course
• The student does not have the pre-requisite required to take the class
• There are duplicates or missing core courses
• It is one of the following program changes (Band, Choir, Orchestra, color guard, drill team, debate, cheer and academic decathlon, only)
• We cannot change the level of class (ADV and AP drops will take place after the 1st 6 weeks)
• We cannot change electives or the type of class requested- that deadline was April 15, 2021
