Frequently Asked Questions
1. What do I do if the required class I need is full? You can check back periodically to see if a spot opens. You may have to choose alternate electives or rearrange the other classes you need in order to get into a core class that is open. If a class if full in the arena, it is full. Counselors will not be able to get you into a full class.
2. What if I requested a class and it’s not in my schedule? If two classes you wanted are taught at the same time you will need to pick one or the other. You will need to pick different class for the other spot. There are some courses that do not have a minimum number of available periods and seats. If you requested such a course, it is not guaranteed that you will be able to get in. If the class is full, you will have to select another class.
3. What do I do if both the (a) half and the (b) half of the same class are in my schedule 2nd trimester? You will need to move either the (a) half to first trimester or the (b) half to third trimester. You cannot be in both the (a) half and the (b) half of the same class during the same Trimester.
4. How can I add a TA class or education release? There is paperwork that must be filled out and submitted to your counselor. Educational release forms can be filled out for release time during the school day. Students are expected to be off campus during that time. We will not be able to put release time into student schedules until it is approved by a parent. To become a TA, please come to the counseling center to pick up a form and see teacher availability.
