Schedule Information 2017-18

In order to access your schedule for 2017-2018, use your password from last year to log into your HAC account. For your convenience, your HAC information is being sent via USPS after August 10th. On the first day of school, a hard copy will be provided to each student in block 1 class.

Classes listed for blocks 1 through 5, terms 1 and 2, are your courses for the fall semester beginning in August. Classes listed for blocks 1 through 5, terms 3 and 4, are your classes for the spring semester beginning in January. CONNECT, which is scheduled for forty minutes during block 3 all year, provides opportunities for academic tutoring, enrichment, study groups, group projects and clubs.

Carefully check your classes for both semesters. As you go over your schedule, remember that your program should reflect your academic recommendations as well as elective choices that you made during the spring registration period. Keep in mind that your alternate selections may have been scheduled if your first choice selections were unavailable. Graduation requirements take precedence over all other options. Make sure that you are scheduled in the appropriate academic level and that you have met prerequisite requirements (e.g., Spanish I before Spanish II).

Schedule Change Request Procedure Please read this entire sheet and follow all steps outlined below:

1. All schedule change requests must be made for valid educational reasons: incomplete schedules, incorrect academic level, improper sequence, failed prerequisite. Requests for specific teachers or times are prohibited and cannot be honored. 2. All requests must be submitted via the Schedule Change Request Form, which you may pick up from the front office. Requests via email, telephone call, or mail cannot be accommodated. 3. Return the completed form, which must be signed by the student’s parent or guardian, to the front office secretary. Until August 24th, the school office is open from 7:30 a.m. until 3:30 p.m., Monday through Thursday. Beginning August 28th, the front office is open from 7:30 a.m. until 3:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. 4. You must staple a stamped, self-addressed envelope to the form. Any request received without the envelope will not be completed. 5. Office personnel are not available to fax forms or discuss specific requests. If a request requires discussion with a counselor, it may be submitted after school begins. Please do not email or send forms through the mail. 6. The deadline to submit a request for a schedule change is Friday, August 24th. Any request received after August 24th will be handled by the student’s counselor after school begins. 7. Either a new schedule or a response will be mailed to you the week before school begins, sometime after August 29th. 8. Please Note: Due to staffing conditions, many courses have reached enrollment capacity. Schedule changes may not be possible.
