only be offered if there are sufficient students enrolled to warrant
the formation of a class.
Once your schedule has been finalized this Spring, there should be
no need to change your schedule. However, if a situation should
arise in which a schedule change is needed, you will need to obtain a
DROP/ADD Form from the Guidance Office and get the signatures
of both teachers, AND a parent or guardian signature, before the
schedule change will be made.
Please discuss your course choices with
your parent(s)/guardian(s) before completing
your registration form.
