February, March & April - Students and parents are able to view future courses entered into Skyward by looking in the Graduation Requirements screen.  This is the time when the Master Schedule is planned and no requests for changes can be made.

 

May 1 - 22 - Students who have changed their minds about courses for next year may request to see their counselor.  Every effort will be made to make the requested changes if there are seats available.  It is very important to make wise and thoughtful choices in January so that the district can plan enough seats in requested courses but if goals and interests change, this is the time to meet with the counselor to discuss possible changes.
