Schedule Changes

We want to keep schedule changes to a minimum, therefore, at this time we are only considering the following reasons with respect to changes: 

1. Into/Out of Pre AP classes
2. Missing one core classes (Reading, Math, Science and/or Social Studies)
3. Missing a class period

However, if you have a concern with your child's schedule, please contact his/her grade level counselor.
