Counselor Announcement
January 22 (next Monday) is the first day of a new term and most of you will have changes to your schedule. Even if your schedule was set in the fall, there have been changes to the master schedule which means there could still be changes to your schedule. Remember, this is not the time of year to choose your classes – we are only making corrections! You should request a schedule change if you:
· are in a class you have already taken
· do not have 4 classes
· are in the incorrect level of a course
· have a teacher/coach recommendation to change a course.
Please use the Counselor QR code that can be found throughout the building and just outside the counseling office, to submit any schedule changes that are needed.
