19.  We build the master schedule on your requests. Example: If we have 75 people request Health, we would create 3 sections. If in August, 25 people who were planning on taking health online in the summer changed their mind and now needed to fit health into their schedule, we would NOT have the room to accommodate them.  Schedule changes only during the first 5 days! Remember how crazy it is to make a schedule change? Students who consider carefully make less schedule changes at the beginning of the semester!  Consider your honors courses. Administration will need to approve any level change (moving from honors to regular classes) once school starts. CHOOSE YOUR COURSES CAREFULLY!

20. My friend shortened their senior schedule! How do I do that?  Senior students will need to enroll in a FULL schedule BOTH semesters.  In January 2017, students can shorten their schedules with a special permission form.  Due to our Friday ALL block schedule the courses will need to be consecutive in numbers.
