Schedule Puzzle: Some classes are only offered one period a day, and teachers teach different subjects or levels during the day. There are times your 1st or 2nd choice isn’t offered a period that is open on your schedule. Core classes are placed first, then the computer will fill your schedule with any of your top four choices. It will look at your ranking but isn’t always able to match. If you don’t have a teacher recommendation for your requested elective the computer will skip that request. I don’t know what or how classes are offered until Mrs. Casey builds the schedule over the summer.

Here is an example:   TEACHER 1 st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th Huntley HS Art II MS Art I MS Art II H306 Brannan HS Theatre MS Theatre Mus Theatre Tech Theatre Aud Santos Guitar I Guitar II Band I MS Band II HS Band II H209 Lee MS Music HS Chorus MS Chorus HS Music H307 Theory If you must take Honors Biology its only offered 3rd period. If you want Band I it is also only offered 3rd period. It wont fit into your schedule.

Electronic Submission This year we will be using google doc’s for you to submit your requests. DUE by Friday 2/8 You will be given an access code by your teacher Monday to join the class and open the form. You will only be allowed to submit your form once, so choose wisely. Talk with you parents regarding the cost or time of your elective choices. I will not change a class because your parent wont pay for the instrument. You know ahead of time it has a cost and should have already discussed with them.

Joining the class in Google Classroom: Click the + symbol and select join class

Enter the code from your teacher:

Example of form: You must fill the * items in correctly or it wont match the information in my scheduling system. Then no items will be selected by you, it will be MY choice. IT WILL ONLY ALLOW YOU TO SUBMIT THE FORM ONCE.
