I want to change an elective!

Make all elective changes this January between the 16th and 30th when we are doing course request changes.

Remember students do at times get placed in their alternates so DO NOT choose a class you are unsure of!!!

Time to decide on classes for your sophomore year!

• Look over your course request form– Write your first and last name and Student ID # on

the top of your form– Please print legibly and indicate your choices clearly. – Your ELA and Math selections are pre-determined – We will go over science, social studies, and elective

options.

I am unsure about an elective what do I do?
