Drop and Add:
Student's and parents. Read the following information and then proceed to the drop and add.
Drop and Add Deadlines:
Spring 2025 Drop Add for Students: Opens on 01/09/2025. Closes on 01/17/2025.
Counselors will process all FEASIBLE drop/add requests.
- Emails and messages requesting schedules changes will not be honored.
- Leaving class to come to guidance for a schedule change will not result in a schedule change.
- ALL students must follow the same process which is to follow the online drop and add process.
- If you manage to get into your counselor's office and ask for a schedule change instead of following the drop and add process, you will only be redirected back to following the online process.
- Since counselors will only be working on drop and adds the fisrt few weeks, they will not be available for meetings until the end of August. Ofcourse, counselors will be available for emotional and mental health support immediately.
Can I have a schedule change?
If the following apply, the answer is NO.
- "My science teacher is too hard."
- "I want to change my lunch/study hall because my friends are in another one."
- "I did not fill out an elective card and I do not like the electives I received."
- "I chose an elective and now I changed my mind."
- "I want to move the same class to another period."
Yes, you may submit a drop and add for the following reasons:
- "My schedule is missing a graduation requirement."
- "I have the same class twice on my schedule."
- "I have nothing scheduled a certain period."
- "I already earned credit for a class that is on my schedule."
- "I am scheduled for 11th grade English but I am only in 9th grade."
- "I did not get into any of my choices from my elective card."
Students should only submit their request once.
Multiple requests will result in errors to your schedule. Students need to understand that 1 drop/add request can result in the change to more that one period. If unhappy with the result we do not change schedules back “the way they were before.” We simply can not, the seat you left is already occupied and you can’t fit back where you were.
Why an online process?
If students were to come to counselors face to face, in most instances your request would not be feasible due to no seats being available. BUT, when you follow the online drop add process, we check multiple time a day for the entire drop and add period for opportunities to satisfy your request. We can also “match” requests to make things happen. For example: Mrs. Reyes may have a student who wants out of Drawing 1 for Rotc 1. Mrs. Swartout may have a student who wants out of PE for Drawing. We can drop Mrs. Reyes’s student from Drawing and slide Mrs. Swartout’s student into that spot. We understand that the idea of immediate gratification is appealing, but following our online drop and add process will result in the most granted requests.
