Student Scheduling Timeline
Scheduling Timeline – Scheduling is a very lengthy and complex process with many moving parts. Our three counselors are tasked with making sure their students’ schedules and the courses chosen meet the state requirements, that they fit into the periods where they are offered, and that classes have an appropriate number of students in them to the greatest extent possible.2016-2017 Scheduling process and timeline
| Students met with their counselors to choose their courses for next year. | March 2016 through end of school year |
| Counselors entered all courses into the master schedule and then reviewed individual student caseloads for scheduling conflicts with core classes. Some students were then called and asked to provide second and third choices in course selections. Counselors then began the process of balancing the master schedule. | June 27th through July 13th |
| Over the course of the summer, all students have had a chance to contemplate the course decisions that were made earlier in the Spring and many decide that they want to make changes. These changes directly impact the master schedule (i.e., adding and/or dropping sections, period changes, etc.). | Through-out summer vacation |
| Counselors work to make all the changes that have been requested over the summer and begin the process of re-balancing the entire master schedule. This requires moving students’ classes around to different periods so that classes are not overloaded. (Unfortunately, not all requests are possible due to limited availability of course offerings.) | August 29th through August 31st |
| Because we want students’ schedules to reflect the most recent changes, schedules are not sent out until all changes to the master schedule are made and verified. | September 1st |
| Final changes are made to some students’ schedules. *Please be assured that your son or daughter will not be negatively affected by these last minute changes and teachers will make sure that he or she has everything needed to get off to a good start! |
