Class Change Instructions
ALL class changes must be done BEFORE the semester starts OR on Class Change Day, August 14.
Before the semester begins
Step 1: Review change policy and deadline
Important deadlines: Class schedule changes are only permitted before the school year/semester by August 7th and on Class Change Day presentation (Canva), Friday, August 14. Class change requests will NOT be accepted after Class Change Day.
Change procedures:
- Students can email counselors NOW until Friday, August 7 to make class changes BEFORE school begins! We HIGHLY Recommend students make changes before school starts.
- Counselors will fill holes in person with students during the period a student has a hole the first 2 days of school – no unnecessary class changes at that time
- Make changes before school starts to avoid waiting in line during Class Change Day.
How long does a change take? Our counselors are committed to processing changes as quickly as possible! However, please understand that some changes cannot be made and some cannot be done until school begins. Check your email as we will communicate with you as quickly as possible and your patience is greatly appreciated.
Email your counselor BEFORE school starts if you want to make a change. Please note that class change requests will NOT be accepted after Friday, August 7, so we have time to get through all requests before school starts.
Step 2: Review the schedule at a glance
After you’ve reviewed your initial schedule on Focus, and if you find that you have a hole in your schedule or need a change take a look at the Schedule at a Glance in the Schedule at a Glance (Google Spreadsheet) to help you identify a class to add during the hole in your schedule or an alternative class for your desired class period. The Schedule at a Glance provides a list of all available class options organized by department and period.
Step 3: Email your counselor
If you need to make a change, email your counselor BEFORE school starts and let her know what you want to change. Find your counselor’s email on the Counselors directory.
After school starts, if you still need a class change you MUST attend and make all changes on the Class Change Day, Friday, August 14, 2026. See the Class Change Day presentation (Canva).
After school begins
Changes AFTER the school year begins will ONLY be accepted on Friday, January 9 during the CLASS CHANGE Day.
