Student Services / Counseling

ALL students:  even if you have not requested a schedule change, please check Skyward before coming to school on Monday to make sure you have the most up-to-date version of your schedule. We have recently moved the order of some students' classes in an effort to reduce class sizes.

The deadline to request schedule changes was Thursday, Aug. 9th, at 3:00 p.m.

All students need to attend the courses in their schedule in Skyward on Monday.

If you requested a change prior to the deadline, please check your email for a reply from your counselor before school starts.

If you believe there is an error in your schedule (missing class, wrong grade level, haven't taken the pre-requisite, have already taken the class, etc.), please send your counselor an email.
