Students must have all appropriate signatures to be considered for a Drop/ Add.
All students should follow their current schedules until changes are made. You will be notified if/when your schedule does change.

15. BEFORE YOU SUBMIT A DROP/ADD FORM, CONSIDER…
Course change requests cannot be granted based on teacher, peer, or class period preference. There are many factors necessary to balance the master schedule, and we cannot accommodate these requests.
Students should only submit 1 Drop/Add form. One change to a schedule may change the order of all other classes. Schedules will not be changed back. Please consider all possibilities carefully before submitting your form.
Not all requests can be accommodated – for a lot of reasons. Your schedule may not change if the master schedule doesn’t allow it, if classes are full, if you haven’t met all pre-requisite or other criteria, etc.

16. Finally – who are we? Introduce yourself: Name
