PHS Schedule Change Policy & Process
Refer to page 33 in School Handbook
Please submit your requests and choose your courses carefully. Changing lunches, study hall, elective, teachers or class periods is NOT ALLOWED. Students have the first five days of the school year to change a core class by following the Drop/Add Policy. Students have the first five days of second semester to change and 2nd semester core class y following the Drop/ Add Policy. Students must meet all prerequisites to sign up for a course and are responsible for making sure that the schedule change does not impact athletic eligibility, graduation status, and/or earning the honors diploma(s).
While it is not recommended that students withdraw from classes, sometimes there are circumstances that make this necessary. Changes to a complete schedule can be considered for one of the following reasons:
-Medical / emotional reasons (ex: Broken leg and can't participate in PE)
-Failure first semester or failed entire course and must retake the course
-Summer school credit requires a schedule change
-College course schedule conflicts
-Change in a Teacher's Recommendation
- The student and their parent/guardian will discuss the change and appropriate action. The teacher will then consult with the department head of thier specific course and from there, secure approval from the administration overseeing the department and notifying the counselor of the changes to be made. |
