The classes listed on your original schedule card will not be changed unless they meet the following criteria: • There is a hole in your schedule (you are short a class and have nowhere to go that period). • You have been placed into a class you did not request (first choice or alternate). • You are scheduled in a class in which you already have credit. • You have 2 or more of the same periods (2 classes 4th period, etc.). • You have decided not to participate in football, band, color guard, or another program, or you have decided to participate in one of these programs. Requires coach and parent approval. • You are currently not doing well in a Pre-AP/AP class and would like to be changed to on-level. If there is an adjustment that needs to be made to your schedule, please pick up a schedule change form from the IHS counseling of- fice.
